Earlier this year, Construction Canada launched its inaugural Emerging Leader Awards program. The awards, presented by Engineered Assemblies, honour members of the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) community who demonstrate excellence, impress, and inspire their co-workers, and are well on their way to becoming the next leaders in the profession.
These awards recognize young professionals for excellence in design, leadership, initiative, and/or service to the community. Nominated by a member or members of their team, finalists were selected by a jury of peers. You can read more about the finalists in our December issue, so make sure to grab a copy!
