There are moments in life that will be remembered forever, and this was one of those moments. On April 13, our late founder, Chuck Dahlgren, was honored with UMAPP’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
Chuck was nominated by Hillary Feder of Ask Hillary’s who said in her nomination: “Chuck taught and instilled in his team all that he knew and believed to be true about recognition. Everyone inside the company that I have ever dealt with sings the same song. It is often difficult to get an entire company on the same page, day in and day out, and live a company’s brand. Chuck did that, and this is still evident even after his recent passing.”
“He led Crystal D, one of our key award suppliers. Chuck was a leader-focused gentleman, guiding those working in the space to understand recognition beyond the award. From program development to what to recognize when selecting an award to how to present, Chuck was more than just selling products. Many companies sell awards. Chuck helped those in the space grow their blog with tools Crystal D provides them to help distributors become recognition experts, a space often overlooked.”
