CAGNY holds annual scholarship lunch.

The Contractors' Association of Greater New York, Inc. (CAGNY) held its annual John A. Cavanagh Scholarship Awards Luncheon on Friday, June 17, 2005 at The Harvard Club of New York City. The luncheon was held in honor of ten students who will receive a CAGNY college scholarship this year.

John A. Cavanagh, for whom the scholarship program is named, was elected Chairman Emeritus in 2004, after serving as CAGNY's Chairman since the organization's inception, as well as providing critical leadership at the time of the Association's founding in 1984. In 2001, CAGNY created the college scholarship program to enhance educational opportunities for tomorrow's construction industry leaders.

Each year, the Fund presents a scholarship award to several worthy high school seniors, six of whom this year shall be children of persons employed by one of the eligible CAGNY member firms. In 2004 CAGNY created a new recipient category entitled "Honorable Mention" which provides several worthy students with a college stipend.

CAGNY, a multi-employer association of the leading construction managers and general contractors operating in the Metropolitan New York area, is defined by the strength of its member organizations--perhaps the most talented, top-quality construction firms in the world. CAGNY's members include AMEC Construction Management, Inc.; Bovis Lend Lease LMB, Inc.; Cauldwell Wingate Company, LLC; Cavanagh/Stewart International, Inc.; HRH Construction LLC; Plaza Construction Corp.; and Turner Construction Co., Inc.
