Construction Law Section Nominations
To all Section members:
As chair of the Section’s Nominations Committee, I am pleased to invite your nominations for the next class of at-large members of the Section’s Council as well as for the Evelyn M. Coman Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Construction Law.
At-Large Council Members
The Council is the governing body of our Section, and is comprised of the Section’s officers together with 15 at-large members. Our Section elects 5 new at-large members each year, who will each serve a 3-year term on the Council. Our Section is strongest when it has the benefit of a diverse Council – geographically, by firm size, by practice focus within the construction law field, as well as by personal characteristics – and we encourage Section members to consider nominating candidates who can help our Council continue to grow in that regard. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, January 17, 2020, and should be sent to [email protected].
Coman Award
The Evelyn M. Coman Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Construction Law recognizes a lawyer in North Carolina who has made a significant contribution in the field of construction law — through case law or other professional achievement, exhibited a strong record of volunteerism, and has consistently upheld the highest ideals of their profession through a dedicated career in construction. This can be a lifetime achievement award if that is the criteria matching with someone you wish to nominate. However, it can also be in recognition of a significant contribution to the construction industry or to the construction law community by ways such as scholarship, legislative accomplishment, significant case law or other well-known contribution which advances the industry or legal community. For those who knew Evelyn Coman, the Award reflects her efforts (along with others) to bring the Construction Law Section to life and her commitment to excellence in the practice of construction law. Evelyn’s life was unfortunately relatively short, but her gifts to the foundation and legacy of the Section were great.
Further information on the Award’s requirements and nomination submissions is available by clicking here.
Nominations will be accepted through Friday, January 17, 2020, and should be sent to: Julianne Dambro, North Carolina Bar Association 8000 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina 27513 or by email to [email protected].
With best regards,
