STOUGHTON, MA. June 4, 2010. The Shaw
Group Inc. was founded in 1987 as a fabrication shop in
Baton Rouge, LA by Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer J. M. Bernhard Jr. and two colleagues. Today, the company
has more than 28,000 employees. The Shaw Group's core values have
remained constant-honesty in decision-making, personal
responsibility and accountability, and leadership by example. These
principles are at the heart of their ability to create and respond
to opportunities and have fueled their dramatic growth.
SPC Sean P. Galligan, Army National Guard and
an employee of the group, recommended the company for The Patriot
Award. In accepting the Award for The Shaw Group, Arthur Fitzpatrick,
Chief of the Electrical Engineering Division, stated; "The
Company supports its military member employees with policies and
programs to further their military membership and are consistent in
following up on these employees when they are mobilized by
maintaining contact with their families here at home and by staying
in touch with the employee during their period of mobilization thru
e-mail and packages. We have a number of employees who are serving
in the Guard & Reserve!" On hand for the presentation in
addition to Mr. Fitzpatrick were Karen Brown, Director of Human
Resources and Charles Cronan, Executive Director and Manager of
Products.
