The Association of Independent Manufacturers’ Representatives (AIM/R) announced the AIM/R Hall of Fame on Wednesday, October 19th, at the 44th Annual Conference in Miami, Florida. The association honored three individuals in 2016.

The AIM/R Hall of Fame was established to recognize and honor those outstanding independent manufacturers’ representatives who have walked along side AIM/R in the plumbing, HVAC, PVF, kitchen, bath-related industries. Through their passion, leadership, integrity and entrepreneurial spirit, they have helped create awareness of the manufacturers’ representative and their role in the sales and marketing process. Because of their dedication and volunteerism, AIM/R continues to be the leading organization dedicated to fostering the success, growth and evolution of the independent manufacturers’ representative.
