“Our Black & Veatch team is tremendously proud to be the J.W. Morris Sustaining Member awardee. It is extra special for me since I knew LTG Morris and also served with his son when we were Lieutenants in Germany and later as Battalion Commanders. Being recognized is wonderfully rewarding since we believe SAME is so beneficial to our profession. We feel honored to be a part of this special organization, centered around so many of our clients and potential teammates.” – Randy Castro, President, Black & Veatch Federal Business
