ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Tony Thompson, founder of KWAME Building Group, has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the St. Louis Council of Construction Consumers (SLC3).
Thompson founded KWAME in 1991 during an economic recession. It was the first ESOP corporation in the state of Missouri.
The first-time business owner forged ahead and built his business into what would become a force in the construction industry.
Thompson is a staunch advocate for diversity and inclusion that shows itself in a visible, practical way in the formation of dynamic construction project teams, advocating for early seats at the table for minority owned contractors and subcontractors.
