Josh Corna, a past president of the BX Board of Directors and BX Foundation Board, will be honored at this year’s Annual Meeting with the 2026 BX Cornerstone Award.
Josh, CEO at Continental Building Co., was selected based on his leadership contributions to the community, the industry and the BX. Considered to be the highest honor presented in the central Ohio construction industry, the Cornerstone Award has been given annually since 1954. Josh is the second member of his family to receive the award. His father, Mark Corna, was honored in 1995.
He was a member of the board of directors for 10 years, including a term as president in 2016. He also spent seven years on the BX Foundation board of directors.
His involvement at the BX includes participation as co-chair of the Rising Leaders Institute Planning Committee and as a volunteer speaker for the BX Student Outreach Program. Josh has also served on the Board Nominating Committee, the Cornerstone Review Committee and as a Scholarship Trustee.
Josh is actively involved in the community and currently serves on the boards of the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA) and the Columbus Next Generation Corporation. His previous leadership roles include board service with the Central Ohio Associated General Contractors, the Associated General Contractors of Ohio, the Mount Carmel Foundation, Leadership Columbus, and the COSI Community Board. He also served as a Governor-appointed member of the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council and has been an active member and board member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO).
His contributions have earned him numerous recognitions, including selection to Columbus Business First's Forty Under 40 in 2010, induction into the Leadership Columbus Hall of Fame in 2017, and recognition as a Columbus Business First C-Suite Award winner in 2024. He is also a graduate of the Leadership Columbus Class of 2002.
Josh was selected to receive the Cornerstone Award by the BX board of directors, based on an initial review by the Cornerstone Award Review Committee. Members of the committee were Jonathan Decker (Decker Construction Co.), Tony Falco (Superior), Karl Hasenstab (Renier Construction Corp.), Ed Keener, chair, (Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc.), Alison Marker, BX board liaison (Marker, Inc.), Ken Miller (Messer Construction Co.) and Jim Smith (Elford, Inc.).
The Cornerstone Award will officially be presented to Josh on November 19 at the BX Annual Meeting.
