Don Mackey and Nick Rossi were honored during the Nevada Chapter Associated General Contractors’ 48th SIR Awards Banquet held at the Peppermill Resort Hotel in Reno. An acronym for the AGC motto, “Skill, Integrity and Responsibility,” the SIR Award is given to honor the men, women and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to Nevada, our quality of life and the construction industry. Originating with the Nevada Chapter in 1967, the SIR Award was adopted by AGC chapters nationwide, including the national office in Washington, D.C.
