In 2024, NIA's Board of Directors decided to rename this award in honor of the enormous lifetime efforts of a two-time past recipient: Ronald L. King. It will now be known as the Ronald King Distinguished Service Award<\/strong>. This is the highest recognition available from NIA and is only given by NIA's President when truly deserved by an individual. The person must have demonstrated outstanding service and dedication to NIA resulting in accomplishments that have tremendous benefits for the association and the industry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not many times in my life have I been rendered speechless, but I was completely surprised when I received the Ronald King Distinguished Service Award. I am very honored and thankful for the recognition, especially since Ron and I go back decades. I have been part of NIA for many years now, and I will say it\u2019s among the best experiences of my career\u2014to help serve this great mechanical insulation industry. Thank you for this honor!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
