Congratulations to the 2026 UCAC Foundations Scholarship winner Peyton Plourde! Peyton plans to attend college in the fall to study Management. He hopes to combine his college education and hands-on experience to learn how to manage a construction company. Starting in 2019, UCAC launched the UCAC Foundations Scholarship, created exclusively to promote the education of a deserving student interested in the pursuit of the trades, engineering or construction management.

This year's Foundations Scholarship is in honor of David Duff. Dave has served on the UCAC Board of Directors for over seven years, rising to the position of President for the 2021 - 2023 term. He has worked in the industry for over 50 years, primarily at the helm of Suburban Sanitation Service out of Canton. Dave was the driving force behind the expansion, in 2022, of the UCAC Scholarship Program, leading the effort to provide cash awards to graduating CTECS students. Dave lives in Canton with his wife, Karen. He is also a proud father and grandfather.
