Top Three Sponsors Win Awards During Reno Meeting

Over the last year, our new member sponsors have been busy promoting FEMA membership. As a result of these great efforts, more than 70 new member companies have joined so far.

Each year, there is also a contest to see who can sponsor the most new members. The award is named after C.P. Nicholson, who was known for his membership recruiting abilities. This year the award was given to the top three sponsors:

First Place: Mike Lessiter, Farm Equipment/Ag Equipment Intelligence
Second Place: Ron Jones, Dick Jones & Associates
Third Place: Alan Jones, Belltec Industries, Inc.

President Paula Kaster, presented the winners with their C.P. Nicholson award plaques and as a way to say thank you, they will be rewarded with free registrations, reimbursements for a portion of their hotel stay in Reno, and help paying for some of their travel expenses.

We also want to thank all of our 2008 sponsors for their work over this year:
Craig Pados, Brillion Iron Works
Don Storts, PRO-Link
Francis Derden, KD Sales & Sunland Machinery
Gary Esterling, ABT Bearing
Layton Jensen, Thurston Mfg. Co.
Andrew Cummings, T. G. Schmeiser Company, Inc.
Dennis Whitehead, Management Recruiters of Iowa City
Steve Wilcox, Miller Products Co.
