The tradition of the Wilson B. Wight Award continues in 1983 with the new and current Phil Kron Award.  Recipients of both the Wight Award and the Kron Award have upheld the highest standards of services, dedication, and professional purchasing activities.

PHIL KRON AWARD

Since 1983, the National Association of Purchasing Management-Rochester, Inc. has honored distinguished service to the Association by the presentation of the Phil Kron Award.  The award was first presented in 1983 to E.
