Video: Goldenberg Presented with First-Ever ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’

CLEVELAND, Ohio — In addition to honoring the members of the Crown Leadership Awards Class of 2014, this year’s awards ceremony was one of the most memorable in the 26-year history of the event. This year’s ceremony included the first-ever 'Lifetime Achievement Award' as selected by previous recipients of the Leadership Award.

To qualify, candidates must have been a member of a Leadership Class between 1989-2000; have a minimum of 25 years of industry experience; be engaged in various public service initiatives in their local communities; and still be active either in a day-to-day business or consulting role with their companies and/or the pest management industry.

PCT tallied all of the votes and the finalists were:
•       Ward Combs II, Presto-X (Rentokil)
•       Bob Dold, Rose Pest Solutions
•       Norman Goldenberg, Terminix (Retired)
•       Russ Ives, Rose Pest Solutions
•       Larry Treleven, Sprague Pest Solutions

The winner was Norman Goldenberg. And although Goldenberg was unable to attend the event due to a previous commitment out of town, he did record a video acceptance speech, which was played at the awards ceremony.

“I want to thank all of you for being here and I want to especially thank Syngenta and PCT magazine for honoring me through your votes for this inaugural lifetime achievement award,” Goldenberg said.

The Crown Leadership Awards are sponsored by Syngenta Professional Pest Management.
