John Mayes of the Army Corps of Engineers-Huntsville was the recipient of the Paula Cushman Membership Award for term 2008-2009. The Membership award is presented to the individual that most influenced others to join the NCMA. Ms. Lisa Hubbard, our Vice-President for Membership, reported that 14 new members joined our Chapter from the Army Corps of Engineers-Huntsville, Directorate of Contracting, surpassing all other organizations considered. This is definitely an indication of Army Corps of Engineers staunch support for our Contracting profession and the NCMA.
