James G. Slaughter, Jr., has received the Construction Industry Institute’s 2008 Richard L. Tucker Leadership and Service Award

The Executive Committee of the Construction Industry Institute has awarded the 2008 Richard L. Tucker Leadership and Service Award to S & B’s President, James G. Slaughter, Jr., for his outstanding contributions to furthering the mission of CII.

Mr. Slaughter received the Award during this year’s Annual CII Conference marking its 25^th anniversary. The conference was held in August in Keystone, Colorado.

Mr. Slaughter’s contributions to CII are highlighted by his service on the Executive Committee and the Board of Advisors, as well as his leadership in improving the project front end planning process. The front end planning task force developed the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) and Alignment Thermometer tools. Mr. Slaughter has also served as the Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee twice and CII’s Vision 2020 initiative, as well as championing industry benchmarking and metrics.

S & B has been a committed member of CII since 1991 and as such has benefited from many of CII’s initiatives, including those that Mr. Slaughter has promoted. The Company continues to support ongoing research teams by making its employees available to serve as team members.

CII is a consortium of more than 100 leading owner, engineering-contractor and supplier firms. Its mission calls for adding value for its members by

enhancing the business effectiveness and sustainability of the capital facility life cycle and
expanding the global competitive advantage to be realized through active CII involvement and effective use of its research findings.

Additionally, Mr. Slaughter is a very active member of the National Academy of Construction. He is a past President and current Executive Committee Member. This is a select organization made up of industry leaders.

We congratulate Mr. Slaughter for the recognition of his years of CII service and leadership and are proud of S & B’s role in improving the business effectiveness of our industry.
