The Used Truck Association is seeking nominations for its annual award that recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the used truck industry.
To qualify for the Marvin F. Gordon Lifetime Achievement Award, a candidate must have a proven career record of accomplishments within the used truck industry, demonstrated his capacity for maintaining the highest business practices and standards, and advanced the goals and objectives promoted by the UTA.
Veteran truck sales professional Jim Sundy of Nalley Motor Trucks, Atlanta, was honored with the UTA’s Lifetime Achievement Award last year.
Nominations for the Award may come from anyone, including the nominee. Membership in the UTA is not a requirement.
The UTA created the Award to recognize, as well as commemorate, Marvin Gordon’s extraordinary accomplishments and his lifetime achievement in the used truck industry. He was the recipient of the inaugural Award, presented in 1999.
Presentation of this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be made during a dinner banquet at the UTA’s third annual convention, set for Nov. 8-10 at the Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa in Hot Springs, Ark.
To request an Award nomination form, visit the UTA’s web site at www.uta.org, fax a request to (410) 374-9196, or call UTA Director David A. Kolman at 1-877-GETS-UTA (1-877-438-7882). Completed nomination forms must be received by no later than August 23, 2002.
