More than 100 candidates were carefully considered during NAC’s rigorous nomination and election process.
Officially established in 1999, the NAC was formed to recognize and honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the construction industry. As part of NAC, members are also able to volunteer their expertise to organizations that are committed to the industry and its future.

The Leadership Institute has more than 10,000 alumni in positions of influence across 1,000-plus organizations.
