High Point — Executives at Broyhill and Hickory Chair were named co-winners of the Larry Runyan Environmental Leadership Award, which is presented annually by the American Home Furnishings Alliance.
Winning the 2006 award were David Stout, corporate environmental manager and safety coordinator at Broyhill, and Donna Musick, Hickory Chair's environmental coordinator.
The award, which recognizes individuals for their leadership on AHFA's environmental committee and proficiency in managing their company's environmental programs, is named for former AHFA staffer Larry Runyan. Runyan was vice president of manufacturing services for 22 years and spearheaded the association's environmental affairs department.
Others honored at AHFA's recent environmental and safety committee meetings were Hickory Chair, which received the AHFA Environmental Excellence Award, and North State Environmental, which received AHFA Suppliers Award.
In addition, the Wayne Bumgardner Safety Leadership Award went to Terry Owen, director of safety and compliance at American Signature. The award is named for Bumgardner, the retired safety director at Bernhardt and a longtime member of various AHFA safety committees.
