ICA names its 2019 award winners
NRCC numbers are up
The 30th Northeast Regional Carwash Convention
(NRCC), which was held September
23-25 in Atlantic City, hosted 348 booths, which
is an 8% increase from the 2018 convention, and
it drew in 1,847 vendors/attendees which is a
19% increase.
The three-day event also included a keynote
address from Moo Moo’s John Roush who poignantly
spoke about the culture of care, and how
it is important to care for your customers, your
people, your community, your brand and the car
wash industry as a whole.
WCA partners with law firm
The Southwest Car Wash Association
(SCWA) announced that Arthur Greeno, the
owner/operator of two Chick-fil-A restaurants
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will serve as the CEO forum
speaker at the 2020 Convention & EXPO.
The SCWA stated that Greeno believes customer
service is the cornerstone to business success
in any business and extraordinary customer
service comes from creating a special culture in
your business.
“Arthur’s insight will give you keys to be
remarkable and make a difference in your business.
Arthur teaches business owners how to
create a unique culture in his own lighthearted,
irreverent and down to earth way.”
Greeno is also the author of Dysfunctional
Inspiration and Breaking Conformity, the latter of
which hit the Amazon Bestseller list in one day.
The convention will take place in Fort
Worth, Texas from January 29-January 31 at the
Fort Worth Convention Center. Former United
States Vice President Dick Cheney will be the
keynote speaker. His keynote address will be on
Thursday, January 30, 2020.

In other ICA news, Suzanne Huisman of
Belgium’s car wash association (BBRV) and Brian
Madderson of the UK’s Car Wash Association
(CWA) were honored September 18 at an
awards dinner hosted by International Carwash
Association at Car Wash Show Europe. Huisman
and Madderson were recipients of ICA’s
Distinguished Achievement Award, recognizing
unique and exemplary contributions to the car
wash industry.
According to a press release, “Both the Belgian
and British markets have been plagued by
criminal activity at illegal hand car wash locations,
many of which were involved in tax fraud,
unsafe working conditions and human trafficking.
Thanks to Madderson and Huisman’s leadership,
their associations have played a major role in
gaining the attention of authorities and improving
conditions for workers and communities.”
Awards were also handed out with Innovative
Control Systems/Sparkle Car Wash’s Kevin
Detrick, receiving the NRCC’s highest honor, its
Hall of Fame Award.
The Most Distinguished Person Awards
were given to Jeff Gold of Buckman’s Car Wash,
Tom Hoffman, Jr. of Hoffman Car Wash, and
Brett Benderson of Delta Sonic.
The dates for next year’s NRCC have also
been revealed and the three-day Convention will
take place October 5-7, 2020, at the Atlantic
City Convention Center.
