At the end of June the Carolinas Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association held their summer meeting in Myrtle Beach, SC. Since 1965 they’ve awarded their highest honor, the Gordon M. Water Distinguished Service Award, to one individual each year. This year our North Carolina sales representative, Ed Benson, received the award.
"It was unexpected and truly humbling. Looking at the list of the people who have received this award since 1965, I recognized names on that list that helped my Dad decades ago." - Ed Benson
“Mr. Gordon M. Waters helped organize the Carolinas Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractor Association in 1943, and served as the first President of the association. In his honor, CRSMCA has dedicated this as the highest honor awarded to a CRSMCA member for their dedication and service to this association, the roofing industry, and the community in general.”
