The Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) honored Dennis Franklin, an Essex Brownell retiree, for the EASA Exceptional Achievement Service Award.

Established in 1997, this annual award recognizes individuals who have provided exceptional service to the electrical apparatus sales and service industry over a lifetime. “The EASA award recognizes those who have gone above and beyond in the electrical apparatus sales and service industry, providing exceptional service and demonstrating steadfast dedication,” said Linda Raynes, EASA president and CEO. “It is the highest honor an individual can receive from our association.”

In announcing the award, Past EASA Chairman Tim Bieber noted, “This year’s recipient has been an outstanding supporter of EASA for over 30 years. He has given his time and efforts to further the Mid-Atlantic Chapter and the former Quaker City Chapter of Region One. For several years, he worked diligently to encourage all chapters in Region One to unite for the betterment of EASA and to collectively organize a Fall Technical Conference. He quite literally was a stone in the foundation that supported the Quaker City Chapter and Region One for many years.”
