NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, April 13, 2010 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, announced that Steve Shirley, President and CEO of its University Mechanical & Engineering Contractors (UMEC) subsidiary in California, has been recognized by the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) with its highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award for the year 2009.
Mr. Shirley was presented the award, in recognition of his outstanding commitment and service to MCAA and the mechanical contracting industry, at MCAA's 121st Annual Convention on March 29, 2010, in San Francisco, California.
Mr. Shirley has been on MCAA's Board of Directors for six years, during which he has helped guide the Association and provided thoughtful commentary on critical industry issues. Steve has also served for five years as an active member of MCAA's Technology committee, and for three years on MCAA's Education Committee. Widely recognized as an expert on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Steve has chaired MCAA's BIM Committee since its inception in 2008; he most recently facilitated MCAA's seminar on "BIM for Mechanical Contractors". He has frequently presented at key MCAA educational offerings, such as the Strategic Estimating Conference, Project Performance Conference, Student Chapter Summit, and Annual Convention.
"It has been said that volunteers are seldom paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless; and indeed, it would hard to quantify Steve Shirley's many contributions over the years to his industry and this association," commented John Gentille, the MCAA's CEO.
Mr. Shirley commented, "It is such an honor to receive this recognition, an achievement that is only possible because of the support of UMEC employees, the satisfaction we at UMEC provide to our clients on a daily basis, and the industry leadership we demonstrate every day."
