We are pleased to invite nominations for the Evelyn M. Coman Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Construction Law. The award 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. But, 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.

The Award Committee is comprised of the immediate two past chairs of the Section as of July 1 of the year of the award and three at large members and convenes in March to consider nominations. As the current Immediate Past Chair & Nominations Chair of the Section, it is my honor to invite nominations for consideration by the incoming Award Committee. To access the brochure and application, click here. Nominations are due no later than March 19.
