Minnesota PHCC Contractor Mar/Apr 2018

UPDATE FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE
The 122nd Annual Convention and Vendor Show took
place in January this year, due to Super Bowl LII
taking precedent and eating up all of the hotel space
in early February. With that being said, we adjusted
the best we could, and the convention went on. There was
nothing but positive comments regarding the convention,
speakers and networking opportunities that were available.
This was our second year giving out awards to the companies
that continue to go above and beyond, when it comes to
promoting and supporting the industry.
Special guest speaker, John Siegenthaler
Contractor of the Year: Carlson Duluth Company
Manufacturer’s Rep of the Year: Rep Rite Burk & Associates
Wholesaler of the Year: Goodin Company
Also, Paul Ronnenberg was recognized during the convention,
as his term as director on the board has ended. We are so
appreciative of Paul’s dedication and service throughout the
years.
MN PHCC is successful because of the commitment of our
members, sponsors, exhibitors and volunteers. THANK YOU
for continuing to support the p-h-c industry!
It was so much fun planning this year’s convention; we have
already started planning the 123rd Annual Convention and
Jason Schrupp with Nick Giuffre, CEO of Bradford White
Vendor Show, which is scheduled for Feb. 6-8, 2019. Mark
your calendars!
Lastly, we are making some positive changes this year
regarding the Plumbing Continuing Education program and
classes that will be offered by MN PHCC, so stay tuned for
further details.
Fun Fact: A typical American home wastes more than
9,000 gallons of water running the faucet while waiting for
the water to heat, which means that as much as 15 percent of
your annual heating costs are wasted while you heat the extra
9,000 gallons.
SAVE THE DATE
