“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.

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.
