Tuesday's big event, the General Session featuring Bart Laemmel and Steve Thomas, who lead the SPFA 2017 Convention & Expo Keynote, started the day with an informative and entertaining start. Both Laemmel and Thomas detailed their histories renovating homes, addressed innovations in homebuilding and presented engaging solutions to problems they've faced throughout their careers.

During the 12th Annual Contractor Awards Luncheon today, SPFA recognized the exceptional accomplishments of some of its members. The Contractor Industry Excellence Awards recognize SPFA contractor members for the quality of their work, the uniqueness of the project, speed of application, superiority of polyurethane, ability of foam to conform to unusual/irregular surfaces and special safety considerations.

It is with great humility and excitement that I welcome you to the 2017 iteration of the SPFA Annual Convention. Make no mistake about it, the show has become a central element of the sprayfoam industry, and has grown over 200% in the past decade. That's an average of 20% per year. Something most companies would be excited about. And I am, but I also recognize that our industry is growing faster than others, and it has its own challenges that we try to address in SPFA for the good of all. I hope that you take full advantage of all the show has to offer.

After winning every SPFA Award, SPFA ran out of ways to honor longtime support and industry professional Bonnie Strickler of Puff Inc. Until now. During the 12th Annual SPFA National Industry Excellence Awards Luncheon, SPFA honored Strickler with new award The Strickler Standout Award. Strickler was the award's first recipient, and her legacy will be forever honored through the award. Congratulations, Bonnie!
