Global Recognition of the Construction Management Profession
McClean, VA – International Construction Management (ICM) Day, March 12, 2012 is a day of recognition and celebration for the thousands of professional construction managers around the world who dedicate themselves to the successful and safe completion of complex programs and projects.
Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) along side other international organizations have come together to promote the profession in the world-wide market.
“I am very proud to see the acceptance that the CM profession has achieved from industry, government and individuals,” says Bruce D’Agostino, President & CEO of CMAA. The profession has helped more and more projects to be delivered on time and on budget. American CM professionals are currently leading projects and programs from the Olympic stadium in London, to the extensive projects in the Middle East and Dubai to the Panama Canal, CM professionals are providing leadership on complex projects around the world. “CMAA and its members have created a global connection that has allowed the sharing of knowledge and best practices with professionals around the world.”
The profession celebrates ICM Day every second Monday of March. Last year, United States President Barack Obama recognized CM professionals with a letter where the President remarked, “For America to win the future, we need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world…By working to bring excellence to the construction community, organizations like the Construction Management Association of America are helping improve the design and delivery of countless projects. Their efforts help shape a brighter future for our Nation.”
