Nominations are currently being sought for the thirteenth annual New Hampshire Construction Industry Ethics Award. The award is presented to "the individual, business or organization that, through its words and deeds, best demonstrates a commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in construction." The award carries with it a plaque and $1,000 cash contribution to the recipient's charity of choice.
Nominations will be accepted through December 8, with the recipient to be announced in April. Guidelines for nominating deserving individuals and/or companies may be obtained by contacting the award's sponsor, David Wood, at 800-439-9663 or e-mail [email protected].
Wood, a nationally known writer and newsletter publisher and past president of the Construction Writers Association, has championed the issue of ethics in construction. "The award is not limited to contractors," he said. "The recipient can just as well be an architect, owner, subcontractor or private individual."
