2006 Award Winner: Mr. CALVIN LEGGETT, P.E.

The 2006 Robert Dodge Professional Image Award was presented to Mr. Calvin Leggett, P.E. His daughter was present to see a very surprised Calvin receive the award; however, Mr. Dodge was unable to attend the meeting to present the award.

Calvin has served in many elected positions within NCSITE and other professional organizations. He has worked for government for over 30 years in many important and visible positions. He is a past president of our Section, and won the 2006 Marble J. Hensley Award at the District Level.

He has always encouraged young professionals to pursue advanced transportation degrees emphasizing policy studies. Calvin’s dedication to the profession, technical competence, and professional image is comparable to the high standards set by Mr. Robert Dodge.

Congratulations to Calvin Leggett of NCDOT for winning this award!
