CSI Middle Atlantic Region Awards

Deadline: February 27, 2026

Important Note:

The CSI Fiscal Year 2026 began on July 1, 2025. As we move forward, we recognize that there are Chapter members deserving of Regional recognition for service performed during the past two fiscal years—

FY 2024 (July 2023 through June 2024) and

FY 2025 (July 2024 through June 2025).

​

Because the Middle Atlantic Region did not present awards last year, we will be combining these two fiscal years into a single awards cycle at this year’s conference. Nominees are required to demonstrate only one year of qualifying service within this period. To accommodate this combined cycle, the number of awards presented will be doubled.

Region awards will be presented at the
Middle-Atlantic Region Conference
hosted by the Tidewater Chapter
April 23rd to April 26th, 2026, in Norfolk, VA.

The CSI Middle Atlantic Region Awards Program celebrates the people, chapters, firms, and organizations whose dedication and leadership strengthen the construction industry and advance the mission of the Construction Specifications Institute.

​

Through this program, the Region formally recognizes outstanding achievements, long-standing service, technical excellence, educational leadership, and meaningful contributions that support CSI’s goals. While many of these efforts originate at the Chapter level, the Awards Program highlights contributions that have had a lasting impact across the Middle Atlantic Region and the Institute as a whole.

​

Purpose of the Awards Program

  • Recognize exceptional service, leadership, and achievement within CSI and the construction industry

  • Honor individuals and organizations that actively support the objectives of CSI

  • Celebrate both emerging leaders and long-time contributors whose work elevates the profession

​​

Nominations

Award nominations are submitted annually and must be completed using the official Middle Atlantic Region nomination forms. Nominations are submitted electronically and include supporting documentation, exhibits, and proposed award wording.
