Innovation is central to CEC’s culture and is one of the primary elements of our Strategic Plan. Each year since 2014, CEC has honored individuals or groups of individuals who turn their innovative ideas into measurable value for CEC and our clients. The individual or group receives a trophy and a $5,000 cash prize.
The award was developed with two equally important objectives in mind:
- Identify and recognize excellence in developing new or enhanced services or new approaches that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our services (both external and internal); and
- Invest in knowledge-sharing of those innovations.
This year, 17 nominations were submitted representing 30 employees (some more than once) from across nearly all CEC title groups. Ten offices and corporate groups and six practices were represented.
The nominations were screened and scored by the Selection Committee consisting of Michael Sheleheda, P.E., Chief Technical Officer & Vice President of Operations; Janette Wolf, P.E., Vice President; and Thomas Buck, P.E., Senior Project Manager.
Join us in congratulating our winners and be on the lookout in the coming months for feature stories on each of their innovations.
