HONORARY MEMBERS
&
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENTS
OF THE
AMERICAN BOILER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

The American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) was born just over one-hundred-fifteen years ago out of a concern for honest workmanship and with an intolerance for careless and inferior design and fabrication practices. While ABMA's dedication to the safe design, manufacture, installation, use and maintenance of boilers and combustion equipment has never wavered over the ensuing years, the Association's goals and objectives have broadened to include the advancement of technology, innovative designs and applications, and common-sense-based governmental policies to insure the availability of not only safe, but clean, efficient, cost-effective, and reliable boiler, combustion, and environmental systems - to meet the energy and comfort needs of America and the world.

ABMA has a long and proud history of accomplishment; a significant component of that accomplishment has been those individuals within the American boiler and combustion equipment industry who have given selflessly of themselves to the betterment of not only their industry but of their trade association. Periodically, the ABMA has recognized these leaders for their "Distinguished Service" by conferring upon them either Honorary Membership (until 1992) or the Association's coveted Distinguished Service Award.

The list of Honorary Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients reads like a Who's Who of the boiler and combustion equipment industry - individuals whose accomplishments and tireless devotion to and involvement in their industry, through the ABMA, have left an indelible testament to innovation, creativity, safety and workmanship.
Because of these individuals and those who still actively participate in the affairs of the industry, the American Boiler Manufacturers Association possesses a renewed strength of purpose and passion for service - confident that amazing things can happen when you pursue new ideas with an open mind and an entrepreneurial spirit. We doff our collective hats to our founding members, to our existing members and to those of you who will join with us in years to come as advocates of the boiler and combustion equipment industry and its products and services.

 
The accomplishments of individual members of the Association were marked by awarding of Honorary Membership up until the year 1990. After that year, distinguished service was noted by conference of the Association's Distinguished Service Award. The year following each individual's name and/or company is the year in which Association recognition took place. Individuals are listed alphabetically and chronologically.
