“We have a great group, and everybody does their part,” said Jon Hays, vice president of sales from AHB Tooling & Machinery, Inc., winning network chair. “We encourage everyone to participate because we know it helps supports the group and is a win/win for everyone.”
AD chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg addressed attendees, celebrating members for collectively outperforming the market in 2020 and recognizing their resilience amidst an incredibly challenging year. He made special note of those members who served in AD leadership roles during the pandemic.
“The members of AD’s governing bodies, including the AD LLC Board of Directors, divisional boards and committees, were incredibly generous and effective in their engagement and guidance to our staff and their fellow members, even in the face of challenges in their own lives and business,” Weisberg said.
