NRCA announces Charlie Raymond Award winners

Las Vegas - During the National Roofing Contractors Association's (NRCA's) 122nd Annual Convention Feb. 1-5, NRCA presented its Charlie Raymond Award to Steven Kruse of Ramcon LLC, Tampa, Fla., and GAF Materials Corp., Wayne, N.J.

The Charlie Raymond Award is NRCA's most prestigious membership recruitment award. The award annually honors a manufacturer and an individual for their extraordinary effort to recruit new members to NRCA.

The Charlie Raymond Award is named for former NRCA President and J.A. Piper Award winner Charlie Raymond, who first became chairman of NRCA's Membership Committee when the association had only 328 members and is responsible for recruiting many more. Raymond recruited the 1,000th member for NRCA in 1973.
