The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, along with presenting sponsor A. O. Smith Corp., announce the 2022 class of Golden Arm Award candidates.

This is the first year the Roanoke-based home service company has made the list based on its three-year revenue growth rate of 83 percent.

The award is based entirely on what current employees say about their workplace experience in the Great Place to Work global employee survey platform.

The award honors creative customer solutions for heating and ventilation.

Uponor North continues to earn recognitions from employee engagement research company, Energage.

The second annual program recognizes the home service heroes, smooth operators, career builders, and community caretakers who demonstrate excellence in their industries.

The organization awards funds annually to students and residents of the Hudson Valley to be used for education, training and assistance for those who may not fit the traditional four-year college model.

Albert Simeoni, Erik Smedberg, Haavard Boehmer, Michael S. Klassen, Stephen M. Olenick, Iffah Umairah Zulmajdi, and Hafizha Mulyasih are celebrated for their contributions.

Applied Engineering Challenge winners also revealed.

Scholarships were awarded to children, grandchildren and employees of Carrier and Bryant distributors and contractors nationwide.
