The AGC's board of directors accepts nominations for the AGC of St. Louis award annually and determines whether an award will be made in any given year. The determination process includes a review of the nominations, discussions of the merits of each nomination and a secret ballot to determine if an award will be presented. A two-thirds majority of all voting members of the board of directors is required for any individual to be selected to receive this award. This marks the first time since 2005 that an AGC of St. Louis award has been presented and Mr. Glenn joins an elite group of just 33 other individuals presented this award in the AGC's 61 year history.
