NLBMDA News: ProSales Honors Industry Notables

To commemorate its 20th anniversary, ProSales magazine's September issue presented its "list of the 20 people, trends, concepts, tools, and initiatives that we believe have had the greatest impact on the construction supply industry during ProSales' history." Among the many notables are NLBMDA Chairman and Pro-Build CEO Paul Hylbert, Jr. On his contributions, the magazine commented, "Arguably, no one has been bigger in the building materials industry over the past 20 years than Paul Hylbert, and nobody matters more now."

Also featured were the state and regional building material associations. "For more than a century, regional groups have provided the meetings, roundtables, classes, and other venues for dealers to look up temporarily from their intensely local concerns, collect management ideas from fellow dealers, and build relationships that often prove to be lifesavers when trouble occurs," noted the magazine.

Other honorees included Joe Hardy of 84 Lumber, Rob Mellor of BMHC, Tony DeCarlo of Lumbermens Merchandising Corp., and Bill Hayward of Hayward Lumber. Congratulations to all the honorees. For the complete article, visit the ProSales website here.
