The three categories of the Operational Excellence Awards—Environmental Leadership, Community Involvement, and Safety Innovation—recognize a company’s commitment to operations that make them good contractors, good industry ambassadors, and good neighbors,” says 2024 NAPA Chairman Brady Meldrem of Norris Asphalt Paving Co.
