The NCMBC selection committee, comprised of industry leaders and representatives, has presented Summit awards to companies, agencies, and individuals since 2015—and the winners are announced at the annual Southeast Region Federal Construction, Infrastructure & Environmental Summit.
This year’s event was modified due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions that changed the Summit’s platform to a virtual series of events that included prerecorded videos to announce the Summit Award winners: ZAPATA (Charlotte, NC) and NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic (Norfolk, VA).
Senior Vice President Marty Ray and Senior Engineer Jury Brown, PE accepted the 2020 Summit Award on behalf of ZAPATA.
“What an honor—this is an incredible award! I’ve been with ZAPATA for twenty years….and we have had the opportunity to do some wonderful things in support of our nation’s security and the war fighters….Thank you to everyone who nominated ZAPATA,” said Ray.
