Relton's Patrick Kearl named top trainer
Wins Evergreen Marketing award for fifth time.
The Evergreen Marketing Group has awarded its sixth annual George A. Sheatz Excellence in Education Award to the top manufacturer instructor participating in the group's 2009 training program.
Supplier instructors are rated by students and Evergreen training center staff during each school. Those instructors who achieve the highest ratings earn the award. Receiving the award for his work in the 2009 training year was Patrick Kearl of Relton Corporation. Kearl has earned the distinction five times.
The award is named after George A. Sheatz, a retired tool and fastener distributor currently living in Prescott, AZ. Sheatz has been instrumental in Evergreen's training & education programs for nearly 20 years.
"George has had a life-long commitment to professional development and continues to be a key contributor to Evergreen's training efforts," said Kevin D. Higginbotham, chief executive officer of Evergreen. "Thousands of tool and fastener distributor sales people have been touched by George and his passion for learning."
