NH Construction Industry Ethics Award
The NH Construction Industry Ethics Award is presented annually to “the individual, business or organization that, through its words and deeds, best demonstrates a commitment to upholding the highest ethical standards in construction.”
Judging for the award is done by a distinguished panel of New Hampshire industry-related individuals, people whose own integrity and judgment is universally respected, and includes past award recipients. The award carries with it a handsome plaque and $1,000 cash contribution to the recipient’s charity of choice.
The Award’s continued sponsor David “Woody” Wood, was a nationally-recognized writer and newsletter publisher. A past president of the Construction Writers Association, he has long championed the issue of ethics in construction. When he retired, he invited Plan NH to assume administration of this program.
The press release for current nominations and the guidelines can be found below.
