The Lafarge North America Tulsa, Okla., plant, in partnership with Waller & Company Public Relations, received an Award of Merit for its community relations campaign from the Tulsa Public Relations Society of America at its Silver Link awards ceremony.

Lafarge was recognized for its successful implementation of “Cementing Friendships,” a 2005 strategic community relations initiative designed to increase awareness of the Lafarge name and the Tulsa facility's positive contributions to the community through activities such as the creation of a Community Advisory Board, residential meetings, a plant open house, volunteering at a local elementary school, and providing plant tours to civic/government representatives.

Lafarge Tulsa was honored by PCA and Cement Americas in 2004 as the winner of the Environment and Energy Award for Outreach.
