NAHAD 2017

The Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution always holds a fantastic annual convention.  The 33rd Annual Meeting & Convention at the JW Marriott Hill country has lived up to expectations.

With expert sessions presented at the University of Innovative Distribution, hospitality, networking, excursions, a golf tournament, Showcase of Hose Solutions, and closing banquet, there is a lot to offer all of the delegates in attendance and their guests.

The highlight of the 2017 event has been a presentation by Captain Mark Kelly, an American astronaut, retired U.S. Navy Captain, aviator and test pilot.  Captain Kelly shared a very moving story about the assassination attempt on his wife, former Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords and how it changed his life.  The title of his talk was Endeavour to Succeed:  A Conversation with NASA Astronaut Mark Kelly.

Another fantastic NAHAD.
