At the recent ATAS International employee appreciation and awards dinner, David Willard, CSI, CDT®, and John Fenstermacher, CDT®, were announced as the recipients of the annual Malan S. Parker Award, which recognizes the top sales team each year. Malan S. “Steve” Parker was an exemplary ATAS product representative in the New England territory, and he passed away in 2002. Since then, to honor his hard work and dedication to ATAS, the sales team of the year award is now known as the Malan S. Parker Award.
Willard is the product representative for upstate New York, and it’s the first year that he has won this award. He joined ATAS in 2017 and was previously a sales manager for a foundation support construction company. Willard has an associate degree from Erie Community College and is a member of the Buffalo-Western New York Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI). He earned the CSI Construction Documents Technologist (CDT®) certification in 2019 and is certified in metal roof installation from the Metal Construction Association (MCA).
