James E. Purcell Leadership Award

The James E. Purcell Leadership Award is the most prestigious award presented each year by BSCAI. It is given in recognition of long-term service to both the Association and the building service contracting industry. James E. Purcell was BSCAI's founder and first President serving from 1965-1967. The previous year's BSCAI President will be honored with this award at the Contracting Success Conference.

"I cherish the years I have spent with BSCAI since the inception of my career.  I have created so many lasting friendships and benefited from a wonderful peer network.  My years on the board and then the terms as an officer helped me professionally and personally in more ways that I can share in a short reply.  Thank you to BSCAI for honoring me with this award, for years I watched as others received it and never thought I would be so fortunate to be a recipient."
