Michael Barnes, Publisher of High-Profile Monthly
Welcome new readers and new corporate subscribers! It’s not unusual for the July High-Profile Monthly (HP) to arrive a little later in the month because of the holiday weekend.
This issue (www. high-profile.com) features the people who have been recognized for excellence in the AEC industry in New England. Winning an award represents long term commitments to the profession. For some it’s a career booster, for others well deserved recognition for years of dedicated effort. To announce your award, significant to the AEC industry, please send details to editors@high-profile.com.
Life Science facilities continue to provide work as exampled by our cover photo and life science facilities section starting on page 18. Technology and Innovation, page 38, will now be a regular monthly section in HP.
HP is proud to be the Connecticut Building Congress media sponsor again this year. Richard Bergan presided over the 21st Annual Project Team Awards; see page 26. We highly recommend joining an association and sponsoring the activities. You will find it yields a solid ROI on your investment, while supporting our industry’s efforts to improve itself. Volunteer participants of our associations help to increase safety, promote innovation and raise standards of professionalism for all aspects of our industry.
