📣 ECIA Announces 2024 Distinguished Service Award Recipients The following six individuals have received unanimous and enthusiastic approval from ECIA's Board of Directors for the 2024 ECIA Distinguished Service Award: Alan Ahern - Alan served for five years as the chair of the Manufacturers’ Rep council and an ECIA Board member until he hit his term limit at the end of 2023. Under Alan's leadership, the Council took on many valuable and practical projects around conducting effective business reviews, training channel partners, and the creation of cross CRM communication tools. Alan passed the leadership torch of the Council to Adam Grigor but remains a strong contributor. Fred Bell - Fred has been an ECIA Board and Manufacturer Council member for many years and was the mastermind behind SPARK, the industry training curriculum for the next generation of high potential employees. Dawn Manhart – Throughout her roles at Littlefuse and Knowles, Dawn has invested more than 10 years on the GIPC and served as former chairperson, sharing her perspectives on effective channel management. In 2024, Dawn was elected to the ECIA Manufacturer Council. Josiah Haas - Josiah is a fourth-generation leader of Bud Industries. His father Blair previously served as our ECIA Board chair. Josiah is a member of our Manufacturer Council and served as Chair of our ECIA Marketing Committee for many years. Chris Wadsworth - Chris has been a long time Distributor council and former ECIA board member. Chris has also served as an EDS board member for six years and ascended to board chair for 2022-23. After his successor Chuck Tanzola’s unexpected passing, Chris generously stepped in again as chair for 2024 and oversaw the EDS transition from the Mirage to Resorts World. Melanie Pizzey – Like Dawn Manhart, Mel has also been one of our longest serving members, more than 10 years as GIPC member and leader, and recently serving as TTI's representative to the Global Distribution Forum.

After 38 years with Bud Industries, Jenene Koegel has decided she will be retiring at the end of October. Jenene has been an integral part of our team, overseeing the Sales Service Department in our Phoenix satellite sales office. Her dedication, expertise, and ability to handle complex customer issues have been invaluable to Bud, and she will be greatly missed by our end customers, distributors, reps, and our internal team. She has mentioned that she will be able to assist during our transition within the sales service department. We are actively interviewing for her replacement and hope to have someone on board shortly. Please join me in congratulating Jenene on her well-deserved retirement and wishing her all the best in this exciting new chapter of her life.
