During an April 2011 Myrtle Beach Convention and Business Meeting, the North Carolina Masonry Contractors Association (NCMCA) recognized Paul A. LaVene, awarding him the association's Eleanor F. Upton Outstanding Associate Member award. LaVene retired as president of the Carolinas Concrete Masonry Association in October 2010, after 20 years of service to the Carolinas masonry industries. Pictured are, left to right, previous Upton Award recipients, who were on hand to make the presentation: Jimmy Wall, Oldcastle Adams Products, 1999; Paul LaVene, current winner; Freddie McMahan, McMahan Insurance & Employee Benefits, 2005; Danny Batten, Lafarge North America 2001; and John Cramer, TriSure Corporation, 1997. The award, named for NCMCA's first executive director, is made in recognition of individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to NCMCA and to the masonry industry over an extended period. LaVene's award is only the eighth Upton Award to have been presented since it was created by the NCMCA leadership in 1981.
