The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) announced the winners of its Distributor of the Year, Affiliate of the Year, and Employee of the Year awards during the Association’s 2022 Annual Meeting. Each year, NACD honors distributor members and affiliate members who make significant contributions to the chemical distribution industry and who provide outstanding service to fellow NACD members or affiliates. These recipients have prioritized collaboration among fellow distributors, manufacturers, and service providers to achieve legendary results for the industry, particularly amid unprecedented economic and supply chain challenges. The NACD Employee of the Year recognizes an association employee who upholds the highest standards of NACD’s objectives and provides unparalleled service to the membership and their association colleagues.
