Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction Magazine Recognizes 14 Individuals and Companies with National Pavement Awards
Fort Atkinson, WI (PRWEB) February 18, 2015 -- Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction magazine honored 14 individuals and companies with the industry’s first Pavement Awards, which were presented during National Pavement Expo’s opening day, Jan. 28, at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn. The awards program, which was launched to coincide with National Pavement Expo’s 30th year, will be an annual event.
“Since 1985, we’ve written about people and companies dedicated to not only growing their own businesses but enhancing the paving and pavement maintenance industry,” explained Allan Heydorn, editor of Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction. “So we decided to give the industry something it’s never had: Public recognition, thanks and appreciation.”
The Pavement staff, in conjunction with the Pavement Advisory Board, evaluated the nominations and selected the award recipients. Pavement’s February magazine issue profiles the industry award winners; additional information is posted on ForConstructionPros.com. “Many of these award recipients have been involved in National Pavement Expo for decades, so presenting the awards during NPE provided the perfect venue for industry recognition,” Heydorn said.
Emcees for the inaugural Pavement Awards presentation were Amy Schwandt, NPE show manager and publisher of Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction and Asphalt Contractor magazine, and Allan Heydorn, who also serves as NPE conference manager.
