2024 NAPCA CONVENTION RECAP
The 2024 NAPCA convention took place April 16-19, 2024 on historic Hilton Head Island at the scenic Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa. The event featured a beautiful locale, several wonderful speakers who presented timely topics, golf, pickleball, and the traditional gin rummy tournament, several entertaining banquets, including an opening night “Game Night” themed party, and many opportunities for networking and reconnecting with business and personal acquaintances and friends. It was a truly special event and we encourage all NAPCA members and invited guests to take advantage and attend the annual convention.

SPONSORS
NAPCA prices its conventions such
that they are not cost-prohibitive so as many delegates as possible can attend
should they choose to do so. Given the
fabulous venues where we hold our conventions, that would not be possible
without the support of our sponsors. We
thank all of our sponsors and a list of them are below.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
At the Regular Members meeting we said goodbye to four trustees due to term limits. All served NAPCA well over the past several years, including guiding the association through Covid and the recovery thereafter. These included Jerry Holmes of LB Foster Company, Robert Langbartels of A&A Coating, Rick Jones of Stupp Coatings, and Darren Bowden of Metal Parts and Equipment. With loss comes gain. With the departure of the aforementioned, we gained four new board members who have never been on the NAPCA board. These are Richard Drey of LB Foster Company, Amber Anderson of Keith Industries, Albert Labasse of JSW Steel, and Chris Woolery of Montgomery Trucking, Inc.
The NAPCA officers elected are as follows:
President – Larry McKinney of Womble Company
Vice President – Adam Norris of Dura-Bond Industries
Secretary – Brandon Blair of Sherwin Williams Company
