As a new membership year gets underway, we want to give our 2024-2025 Executive Committee a chance to tell you, in their own words, why they volunteer and what makes AWCI special to them. Say hello to AWCI Secretary Adam Navratil. How long has your company been a member of AWCI? My grandfather, the founder of J&B Acoustical, Inc., joined AWCI in 1963. How long have you been involved in the organization? I have been attending Conventions since I was a child with my parents in the early 80's. Interest peaked during my college years and I naturally transitioned to attending Conventions annually from 2000 forward. I initially got involved with the Education Committee soon thereafter and served as chair for 8 years. I served on the board of directors from 2015 to 2021. Why are you involved? And why do you volunteer? I believe that participating on a national level with such a great orginization can only make you and your company better at what you do. The act of giving time to something that I'm passionate about is a way for me to give back while also honing my skillset. What is the value of membership for you, the company, your employees? The value of membership for me comes from the lifelong friendships/relationships that are forged. These relationships are valuable resourses in a non-competition environment. Thought processes, experiences, and insight are shared for the betterment of all. Our employees will get to see new products and technologies from so many vendors and manufacturers in one location while being surrounded by like-minded construction professionals. The educational programs help foster employee thought process and growth when they return to work after an AWCI event.

One of my main obejectives since being in the business was to digitally innovate what we do in regards to SHEQ. I am not the most technically gifted on computers but this has truly been a real success from my team. From my experience, this day in age in construction, we have various apps that do different things from permit management, observation and incident management etc. We are asking a lot of site staff who can often see technology as extra and can become difficult to use when it’s different applications. We have designed a system that anyone can input various data via a simple QR codes on site. It has been completely designed to suit our processes and procedures. It includes; - Observations - Incidents - SHEQ audits - Leadership Tours - Daily Diaries - Site Manager inspections - Non-conformance and ITP We are also updating the system to capture carbon reporting, RAMS appraisal processes along with other useful tools. The highlight for me isn’t that they capture the data but a lot of the system works together to highlight good and bad trends with anything related to Health, Safety, Environement, Sustainability and Quality along with producing dashboard. One single action log per project supports any output from the above list. Results.. to put into context, our site teams have reacted well and taken to use the functions frequently. The first 5 months of 2023 seen us receive 71 observations. The first 5 months of this year since the launch has seen 1,183. Proud to have been shortlisted for the Constructing Exellence South West Awards, my team certainly deserve it for the hours of building this around the usual full time busy jobs.

🔍 Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who’s the Fairest of Them All? Spoiler: It’s Not Always Who You Think 🔍 Guess what's next? I’m about to unveil a perspective that might turn a few heads—and maybe even ruffle some feathers. Are corporate DEIA awards the gold standard of diversity and inclusion, or just golden trophies on a shelf? Keep an eye out for my upcoming paper, where we delve into whether these accolades truly reflect deep commitment or are just surface-level nods. Are we celebrating genuine achievements, or just the illusion of progress? 👀 Stay tuned and prepare to peer beyond the shimmer. It’s time to challenge what we see in the mirror of corporate awards. #DEIA #CorporateAwards #AuthenticityInBusiness #UnmaskingTheFacade
