Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and the Construction Leadership Institute Advisory Board is now soliciting nominations for the 2015 Construction Leadership Institute Alumni Leadership. 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.

“We have a wide variety of CLI program alumni now serving in leadership roles for St. Louis area contractors, suppliers, professional services firms, major facility owners and industry affiliated organizations,” said Chris Gordon, CLI co-director and chair of the Department of Construction in SIUE’s School of Engineering. “We annually spotlight the positive impact CLI graduates have on the local building industry and their community.”

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 and Southern Illinois area building communities and the public are invited to nominate a graduate for the award by visiting the CLI website.

Nominations can be made using a convenient online form that takes just moments to complete. A list of CLI graduates is also available on the website siue.edu/business/cli/

Presently in its third year, the CLI Alumni Leadership Award was first awarded in 2013 to Frederic J. McCall, vice president of BSI Constructors. The 2014 recipient was Steven Cronin, vice president of Tarlton Corporation.

Nominations must be received by Monday, Dec., 1, to be considered for the 2015 CLI Leadership Award.
