Electrical Wholesaling magazine recognized three reps for their service to the electrical business at the recent annual conference of the National Electrical Manufacturers Representatives Association (NEMRA) in New Orleans.

Rick Johnson and Art Andrews, princi-als of AJB Sales Corp., Minneapolis, won the 2007 GEM Award for Independent Manufacturers’ Representatives; and Bill Devereaux, principal of RB Sales Corp., Marion, Iowa, won the 2007 GEM Rising Star.

The GEM Award for independent manufacturers’ representatives was established in 1990 in honor of George Ganzenmuller, the magazine’s chief editor for more than 30 years, to recognize reps whose business careers exemplify the integrity and fairness that George stood for during his years in the electrical industry. The GEM Rising Star Award for independent manufacturers’ representatives was established to recognize those industry executives whose early careers and industry contributions show promise of leadership and insight and who have already demonstrated the determination to excel. Both winners will be profiled in the March issue of Electrical Wholesaling magazine.
