Before I get into this month’s key thoughts related to important ASA efforts, I would like to bring to further light the recent unexpected death of longtime respected industry trade journalist Bob Mader.
A few years ago, the WIT buying group held its fall owners meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah — a neat area of the country if you have never checked it out. Part of the event involved a tour of member Standard Plumbing Supply’s impressive headquarters operation in nearby Sandy.
To state the obvious, 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us whether we’re talking personally dealing with the many ramifications of the pandemic or from a professional/business standpoint.
In this extremely digital age we now live in, I was recently scrolling through my LinkedIn account (if you aren’t following the ASA LinkedIn account
@American Supply Association (ASA), what are you waiting for?) and noticed a post from Max Bender, the president at Connecticut-based ASA distributor member BENDER.
The formation of Miami-based Lehman Pipe & Supply occurred because of an ultimatum. Current Lehman Pipe President Dennis Lehman’s father, Julian, worked for his brother-in-law in
the 1940s at a plumbing supply house in the Jacksonville, Florida area.
The one thing during the pandemic that I have missed much more than others is the face-to-face interactions that occur throughout our industry. A month prior to the widespread shutdown I was at the massive AHR Expo and KBIS-IBS trade shows and then the legacy WIT and Embassy (now combined as The Commonwealth Group) buying group meetings.
I know this sounds like a broken record, but our industry is filled with great people. That certainly has been on display during the COVID-19 pandemic.
