holiday pecansCan you believe we’re already approaching the holiday season? It seems like just yesterday I was writing about the opportunities that 2016 presented for Induron.

Through finding research breakthroughs, providing care and empowering families with services and support, MDA fights to free individuals and their families from the harmful effects of muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases so they can live longer and grow stronger.

Dancing in the Nutcracker with my Daughters and My Dog

betsy muttcrackerBy Davies Hood, Induron CEO

Being a part of the Birmingham Ballet’s annual production of “The Nutcracker” is something I’ve blogged about in the past. It’s always a popular topic, especially since it automatically gives people visions of me dancing in tights. (You’d rather have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head, believe me.) And I don’t actually wear tights, but I do cross-dress. Continue reading Dancing in the Nutcracker with my Daughters and My Dog

Why We Love the ACE AWWA Convention

By Tex Enoch, Induron Sales Rep

The first of many annual ACE American Water Works Association (AWWA) Conventions occurred for me over 30 years ago. It was held in San Francisco.  Although I worked at the time for a small, very regional, paint manufacturing company, Pennsbury Coatings, it was decided that I should participate in that meeting.

This decision was made because our largest customer, The Philadelphia Suburban Water Company, was sending a large group of conventioneers, and I was tasked to make sure they remembered our special relationship. Continue reading Why We Love the ACE AWWA Convention
