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.
