The Chairman’s Award (originally, the President’s Award) is an honor bestowed by the chairman of ATA to an individual that has had an extraordinary and meaningful impact on the association. It is rarely given, and awarded at the sole discretion of the ATA chairman.

At ATA’s annual meeting at IFAI Expo 2019, ATA chairman Steve Ellington, president of Trivantage, presented the highly respected award to Scott Campbell, CEO of Rainier Industries Ltd. in Tukwila, Wash.

“Scott has been chosen to receive this award for the leadership and guidance demonstrated during last year’s search for ATA’s new CEO; for his willingness to always step in when the association needs his help (he graciously volunteered to sit on the ATA board of directors as past chairman when we needed him); he served on the Industrial Fabrics Foundation board of directors for several years, and is always a steadfast and true advocate for ATA and for all of the members of the association,” said Ellington.
