BIASC Governing Board will approve award determinations and announcements. The rules and standards are listed below:
RULES OF ELECTION
Each nominee must meet most of the criteria guidelines below to qualify for induction.
• Displayed extraordinary leadership for BIASC and or the building industry.
• Longstanding and distinguished tenure with BIASC.
• Proven leadership within their company or the association.
• Innovation that advanced the association/their company or our industry.
• Contributions to a community, a region, statewide, or nationally.
Each Chapter will form its nomination committee based on the criteria noted above and will select up to 10 nominees for consideration, including an official written submittal of nomination. Special consideration will be made for nominees who have passed, and this will not count towards the 10 nominees.
To help commensurate our 100-year centennial, the Building Industry Association of Southern California proudly announced the creation of the inaugural Hall of Legends. The mission of BIASC’s Hall of Legends is to memorialize and pay tribute to the talented leaders of our industry.
Starting in 2023, BIASC will induct a Hall of Legends class on an annual basis based on nominations from the four chapters and councils. Inductees will be recognized through various outreach programs that include news and magazine features, video documentaries, events, and social media, including educational and youth programs around the Southern California region.
