Within the framework of the seventh annual meeting of the LCDA, which will take place in New York on October 25, this important recognition will be given to companies with 2 or more Latino Americans on their boards and that promote an increase in Hispanic/Latino representation in the boardroom.

Considered one of the largest diversified construction and building materials companies in the United States, awarded for its quality and sustainability, Granite has strong values that guide the company and its employees to uphold the highest ethical standards.

Jorge Quezada, Granite VP of People and Culture, stated:

Our Inclusive Diversity efforts do not rest on one person, one team, or one department. Our strategy comes from the collective action of one company – Granite!

During the recognition evening, in addition to presenting Granite with the Corporate Visionary Award, Michael F. McNally, Granite's Board Chair, will also be recognized as an exemplary leader.

 “We are grateful for the contributions of our employees and specifically the contributions of our board members Louis Caldera and Gaddi Vasquez, for their commitment to the success of Granite and the Latino community,” added Quezada.
