The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to a member selected for their exceptional service to NDA and the industry. The award honors members for their leadership and commitment to NDA’s organizational vision and mission, and pays tribute to the individual’s commitment to the betterment of their community, the company they worked for and the demolition industry as a whole, says the NDA.

As president, Homrich guides policy decisions and provides executive support to project management teams. He has more than 40 years’ experience in the demolition and environmental remediation industries. In addition to being a past president of the NDA, he has served in various leadership and advisory capacities with the NDA.

During the March 17 banquet, NDA also presented nine scholarships to up-and-coming demolition professionals. These scholarship opportunities are awarded to an owner, employee, or an immediate family member of a regular member company of NDA and provide support in the advancement of their career through continuing education opportunities.

To memorialize Adamo’s contribution to the demolition industry and dedication to the association, NDA says it has endowed the John T.
