McDonough Award for Excellence in Leadership
This award is named after the "Mister Mac" towboat, the flagship towboat of the Marmac Corporation fleet. It's a hard-working towboat, yet it leads the pack. The award is given in honor of the late Bernard P. McDonough (1903-85), a self-made industrialist and entrepreneur who ran wide-ranging global business interests from his Marmac Corporation headquarters in Parkersburg, West Virginia. His generosity has inspired us to seek others — in the business community, in the arts world, in the public-service sector – who fit his vision of a "leader," leading the pack.
