Craig Vogel receives ISA's Lifetime Achievement Award
The Industrial Supply Association presented Craig Vogel with its John J. Buckley Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honor bestowed by ISA to an individual in the MROP channel for his or her longstanding service in the industrial supply industry. ISA recognized Vogel for making significant contributions to the success of the industry and has earning the respect of his associates and peers.
“Craig Vogel is the embodiment of what this award stands for,” said Brendan Breen, ISA president. “During his time as Chairman of the ISA Board, he selflessly helped the organization navigate challenges and opportunities with vision and purpose. He stands as a role model and a true servant-leader for all ISA volunteers to follow.”
Vogel has spent 35+ years serving the industrial industry, most recently as vice president of industrial sales for Stanley Black & Decker. He has been a mentor to many and an advocate for his organizations and the industry at large. Craig has also demonstrated his passion for supporting transitioning service personnel and veterans pursuing careers in manufacturing through his support and advocacy for Workshops for Warriors.
“In addition to Craig’s customer advocacy, you would be hard-pressed to find an employee in these companies who Craig did not impact. He is an incredible leader who always put his team and employees first from the plant floor at East Long Meadow all the way through the executive teams,” stated Maria Ford, president of North America industrial/commercial sales & marketing at Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., who presented the award on April 18 at ISA23.
“To this day, Craig is still passionate about giving back through his work with the ISA convention and beyond,” Ford added. “Craig has instilled, in all of us, a passion for this industry and his career and connectivity is truly one to emulate. His contributions to the industrial supply industry have been immeasurable, and his passion for serving others is an inspiration to us all.”
The ISA Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes Vogel's tireless efforts to advance the industrial supply industry and his dedication to improving the lives of those he serves. His leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence have set him apart as an outstanding individual in the MROP channel.
