SBS and Ed Waite Are Honored With Distinguished Dealer

Ed Waite and Spenard Builders Supply have received the “Distinguished Dealer Award” from the Western Building Material Association. The award was announced at WBMA’s 105th annual Convention and Building Products Showcase in Seattle.

The award recognizes Waite, and SBS’ service to the building materials industry. The Association noted SBS’ commitment to employee training through the “Tools for Success” program and long-tenure employees as some of the reasons that SBS stands out for recognition. The award also noted SBS’ tradition of support for the community and its customers. That includes builder education seminars and financial and in-kind support to local projects, events and charities, from Habitat for Humanity to the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The Distinguished Dealer Award also recognizes SBS’ participation in the WBMA training programs and Young Westerners Club.

The recognition also comes as a result of Waite’s long-term commitment to WBMA. He has served as a district director and on the Executive Committee, has been an active representative of the membership and currently holds the position of 2nd Vice President. Waite also attends the National Lumber and Material Dealers Association Legislative Conference in Washington DC and bridges relationships with Alaska’s political delegation.

WBMA is a regional trade association serving the building material industry in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
