“On behalf of SMACNA and the industry, I want to congratulate Tom on this prestigious award,” said 2018 SMACNA President Jack Knox. “Tom’s involvement in local and national SMACNA boards is both lengthy and impressive, and his work to advocate for and grow the industry make him especially deserving of the recognition.”

Nationally, Martin joined the SMACNA National Board of Directors in 2017 and in July 2018 was appointed to the SMACNA/SMART Best Practices Market Expansion Task Force.
