"Each year, the MCAA recognizes those individuals who have proven outstanding leadership and service toward building a stronger industry.

Today, we honor William McConnell, Richard Felice and William Dentinger for their commitment and dedication to our industry with the presentation of the C. DeWitt Brown Leadman Award. While our industry has many individuals who can be recognized for their volunteer contributions to the building of our industry, only a select few can be recognized each year. These three men have long distinguished themselves and are well deserving of this special recognition.
