SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENT<br />
the Institute. Your accomplishments as an IFI member<br />
are equally important to the work you have accomplished<br />
outside the IFI on the industry’s behalf. Most notably,<br />
your active participation on<br />
ASTM Committees and your work<br />
as a long-time member of the<br />
Research Council on Structural<br />
Connections (RCSC). This work<br />
directly benefits all manufacturers<br />
of structural bolting products and<br />
will continue to do so for many<br />
generations to come.<br />
Your continuous influence in<br />
leading IFI’s Publications &<br />
Information Committee as<br />
chairman and vice chairman<br />
over several decades has helped<br />
hone IFI’s image to customer<br />
groups as the technical leader<br />
of the fastener industry.<br />
Furthermore, your involvement in<br />
the publication and promotion<br />
of multiple editions of the IFI<br />
Book of Fastener Standards has<br />
made a significant and lasting impact on IFI’s financial<br />
stability, and in turn, on the Institute’s strength and<br />
ability to effectively serve its members, the industry, and<br />
its customers.<br />
