Richard Thibodeau Accepts Industry Leadership Award
Richard Thibodeau accepts the Industry Leadership Award from CASF President Graham Douglas and long-time CASF board member Mike Kuntz.
The CASF golf tournament wasn’t just about the golf this year; it was about presenting our Surface Finishing Industry Leadership award to its very deserving recipient, Richard Thibodeau. This was accomplished with a very emotional introduction by our President, Graham Douglas, who then handed the microphone to Mike Kuntz, who has worked closely with Richard over many years at CASF and in industry. Mike gave a sparkling synopsis of Richard’s career to this point. A well-deserved congratulations to Richard!
Past award winners have been among the most dedicated individuals to improving our industry.
