The Spiral Duct Manufacturer’s Association (SPIDA) will be holding the first Annual Bill Bradford Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament on the Thursday ahead of their annual meeting in Austin, Texas. Bill, who passed away in January, was SNIPS’ first Industry Icon, a founding SPIDA member and DMI company Ductmate Industries’ first employee.

At the AHR Expo SPIDA meeting, the association announced they’d honor Bradford by fundraising an annual award in his name. This Outstanding Service Award gives the recipient $1,000. The winner will have a character that aligns with the nine words his family think best represents his legacy: hardworking, selfless, positive, patient, mentor, steadfast, respectful, and loyal with integrity.
