2023 Member Reception and Monte Carlo
CAWP and H2AP members joined together and celebrated the heavy/highway construction industry on Friday, January 13, 2023 at Acrisure Stadium. Nearly 600 attendees enjoyed an extended Monte Carlo reception, food and beverages before honoring the Brandon Chaney CLC Scholarship recipients for 2022.
CAWP Executive Director Rich Barcaskey welcomed the attendees to the event and reviewed the activities of the Association in 2022. He then introduced the evening’s emcee, KDKA meteorologist Mary Ours.
CAWP CLC 14th Annual Brandon Chaney Scholarship Ceremony
Ms. Ours led the award ceremony that honored the recipients of the Brandon Chaney CLC Scholarship. Developed in 2008 by the CAWP Constructors Leadership Council, this scholarship was named in memory of Brandon Chaney, an aspiring third-generation heavy/highway construction professional who died at the age of 16 in an automobile accident before he could realize this goal.
To honor his memory, this scholarship was created to support others who aspire to work in the heavy/highway industry and is awarded to the top-ranking first-year apprentice in each of the four heavy and highway apprenticeship programs in western Pennsylvania. Year after year, the recipients of this scholarship have set the standard for the future workforce of the heavy and highway construction industry in our region.
