2025 Joey Sagal TSMO Leadership Award badge

Since 2019, NOCoE has named a TSMO Champion, an individual who has made significant contributions to advancing TSMO both inside their organization and within the industry at-large. The award is given via nominations from the industry, and then nominees are ranked by the leadership of the NOCoE partnership organizations.

In 2024, NOCoE renamed the award to the Joey Sagal TSMO Leadership Award. The award has maintained the same criteria and process as before, while adding a few items reflecting Joey Sagal’s legacy in the industry. Full criteria for nominees will be:

Advancing TSMO inside their organization(s)
Advancing TSMO across the country or within the industry at-large
Demonstrated contributions across areas of TSMO, from road side assistance and TIM to project delivery and organizational management
Demonstrated workforce development for personnel, including via career planning, training, or organizational culture

NOCoE Case Studies capture the strategies and practices currently being deployed to advance the TSMO industry and enable TSMO practitioners to save lives, time, and money.

Case studies are developed in partnership with the authoring organization or individual to succinctly transfer knowledge for the effective use by others in the industry. Many of the case studies come from TSMO Award Submissions.
