The Organizational Certificate of Merit is presented during the conference to a firm or organization for distinguished accomplishments that have promoted the objectives of the CSI MAR and the CSI. National sales manager for ATAS, Lee Ann Slattery, accepted the award on behalf of ATAS. “At ATAS, we believe in supporting organizations that are integral to the construction process and groups that improve upon how all segments of that process work together,” said Dick Bus, president of ATAS. “We appreciate the recognition from the Middle Atlantic Region and look forward to working with this group and others that promote better building with stronger communication.” ATAS was also honored by the state of Virginia with a 2009 Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award during the Environment Virginia Symposium, which took place in April in Lexington, Va. Presented by Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources L. Preston Bryant Jr., the award is for the Better Living Building Supply: Better Living Phase II in Charlottesville, Va.
