ST. LOUIS, MO — Frank Marchesi, Sr., of Bi-State Utilities Co., has received the President’s Award from the SITE Improvement Association in recognition of his many years of dedicated service to the organization. The award is SITE’s highest honor and is given to a member who has provided outstanding guidance, foresight, time, and leadership to help the organization reach its goals and maintaining its influential role within the construction industry.

Bi-State Utilities joined SITE in 1993, and during that time Marchesi Sr. has served on SITE’s Board of Directors for six years, chaired its Management Seminars Committee for 18 years, represented SITE during Operating Engineers Local 513 negotiations, and spearheaded the Relocation Committee when SITE was seeking a permanent office location. In addition, he has served on the Construction Craft Laborers’ Apprenticeship Committee and Training Fund since 2010.

“Frank gives so much of his time and expertise to our organization, often working behind the scenes to not attract attention,” said SITE’s Board President Mike Steiniger, whose decision it was to honor Marchesi Sr. “This award is just a small token of the membership’s appreciation of his service in helping the association grow and better serve the construction industry in eastern Missouri."
