In addition to our Cornerstone, Safety, and Craftsmanship awards, the BX also presents an annual President's Award.

Initiated in 1979, the BX President's Award is given to an individual who has volunteered countless hours behind the scenes to develop Exchange programs. While the award is presented to just one person at the annual meeting, it represents and salutes the thousands of BX members who have donated their time and talents to the Builders Exchange through the years.
