ABC of Western Washington has responded to feedback from our members and made exciting changes to the annual Excellence in Construction Awards program being held on April 28th.
The biggest difference will be in the awards event itself. ABC wants all of the membership to be more included in the excitement and business growth opportunities of the awards night, so we have shifted this program to a tradeshow-like event, with all the entrants showcasing their projects to attendees. The selected award winners will be on a raised dais and will still receive their awards on stage, but in a much shorter presentation. This format will allow each entrant to talk face-to-face with attendees and explain what made their project unique, challenging and special to them. There will be ample time to look at the projects, ask questions of those involved, and network.
Another change will be in the entry process itself. The electronic entry form will be more concise and companies can fill out the form in a Word document. ABC is looking forward to making this event more beneficial to companies that enter projects, but also to those in the industry who attend wanting to find out more about the projects’ general contractors and subcontractors that have been selected as the best representations of what they do and build.
Entry forms will be emailed to all contractor members the first week of February. The deadline for entries is March 22. If you would like to find out more about this revamped program, please contact Vice President of Communications & Events Victoria Klyce at (800) 640-7789.
