Honors & Awards
- Awarded to Tanya Blossom
  2011 ABC National Communications Award Associated Builders and Contractors 2011 This was a national communications award issued by ABC National for the origination, implementation and execution of the first ever online plan room in an ABC chapter. This project was a challenge from the beginning to garner stakeholder support. Once I had acquired that the actual planning and execution were undertaken in a 1 year period and immediately brought profit to our association and a cost saving alternative to our members.
