STV Chairman Dominick Servedio, P.E., has been selected by the National Academy of Construction (NAC) as its 2022 recipient of the prestigious Ted C. Kennedy Award. This award, the NAC’s highest honor, will be presented to Servedio at the Academy’s Hall of Fame Gala in Scottsdale, AZ, on October 6.
Named in honor of the late Ted C. Kennedy, founder of BE&K, this award honors an individual for “commitment to people; obsession with safety; integrity with ethics; championing of innovation; a lifetime of achievement; breadth of sector experience and roles; industry organization and leadership; generosity; and support of the greater community.” Servedio is the 11th recipient of this award in NAC’s history.
Servedio has been an avid steward and leader of the NAC since he was elected in 2008. He served as NAC Chairman in 2015-16, is past chair of the Membership Committee, and serves as a core member of its strategic planning process. He is also credited with leading the NAC during a period of great membership expansion and outreach.
“Dominick Servedio leads by example and is an extraordinary role model for the entire industry,” said Wayne Crew, president and CEO of the Academy. “His contributions to NAC are likewise precedent-setting.”
This award is the latest in a long list of honors Servedio has received over the course of his career for his service to the design and construction industry, and his and STV’s contributions to the country. He is a member of the prestigious National Academy of Engineering and has also received the Goethals Medal for distinguished performance in construction from The Society of American Military Engineers; a Lifetime Achievement Award from the March of Dimes; the Ellis Island Medal of Honor; the Richard A. Cook Gold Medal from the Hundred Year Association of New York; and the Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award from Long Island Cares.
A former director of the Construction Industry Round Table, Dominick also recently chaired the New York Building Foundation, an organization in the New York Building Congress, where he previously served of chairman.
