Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the Construction Leadership Institute (CLI) Advisory Board will introduce the CLI Alumni Leadership Award this spring. The award will recognize an outstanding graduate of the CLI program and honor the individual’s exceptional contributions to the building community through their leadership, character and hard work.
The initial award will be conferred as a part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the program, which will be held at SIUE Wednesday, May 8. Because of scheduling conflicts, the event was moved from the original March 1 date. As a result, the nomination deadline to be considered for the 2013 CLI Leadership Award is extended to Friday, April 5.
To be eligible for the annual award, a CLI graduate must have demonstrated exceptional professional accomplishments and community/public service. Members of the St. Louis area building community and the public are invited to nominate a graduate for the award by visiting the CLI website at siue.edu/cli.
The Construction Leadership Institute was created 10 years ago when building industry leaders approached SIUE to help create a program to accelerate the leadership development of high potential employees. It resulted in the annual program of nine weekly day-long sessions from mid-January through mid-March. The program is designed and continuously refined to develop and hone leadership and communication skills, and critical professional skills for emerging leaders in the building industry.
Organizations currently represented on the board include AGC-St. Louis, Alberici Constructors, Ameren Missouri, BJC Healthcare, Bond Architects, BRK Electrical Contractors LLC, Guarantee Electrical Co., Holland Construction Services, IMPACT Strategies, Johnson Controls, McCarthy Building Companies, Korte & Luitjohan Contractors, Murphy Company, Nooter Construction Co., Regional Union Construction Center, S.M. Wilson & Co., Southern Illinois Builders Association, and The Korte Construction Co.
