ISSA has announced its 2019 Achievement Awards honorees, who will be recognized at ISSA Show North America 2019 in Las Vegas, November 18-21.

The Jack D. Ramaley Industry Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Jay R. Vonachen, founder of Vonachen Group, and the Manufacturer Representatives’ Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Bill Hemann, vice president of sales and marketing for HOSPECO.

“It is a true honor to present these two awards to some of the most hard-working, professional, and innovative leaders in the industry,” said John Barrett, executive director of ISSA.

The Jack D. Ramaley Industry Distinguished Service Award honors individuals with 10 years of industry experience who have demonstrated outstanding service to the cleaning industry. Vonachen has dedicated his career to helping organizations prioritize cleanliness and image, as well as training and mentoring individuals to set them up for success in the contract cleaning industry.

With 44 years of service at HOSPECO, Hemann has earned a reputation as a visionary leader who inspires with his hard work and integrity. This makes him the ideal choice for the winner of the ISSA Manufacturer Representatives’ Distinguished Service Award, which honors individuals for significant contributions to the industry and ISSA, and who have been supportive of manufacturer representatives.
