George Sollitt Construction Company's Steve Lenz and Brown & Momen Inc's Ernest Brown flank another winner, Ujamaa Construction's Jimmy Akintonde, who won the Corporate Citizenship Award. Time for your daily Swahili lesson: We're told "Ujamaa" is a word for the Tanzanian concept of ?people working together.? And whatya know—Ujamaa worked with the Chicago schools this year to place students with construction industry employees they could shadow. |
