Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International has announced Constance McCall Baxley, corporate vice president and COO of McCall’s Supply Inc. based in South Carolina, as its inaugural Annual Conference Contest winner.

“I am super excited about being the winner of this contest and am looking forward to attending the 2017 Annual Conference in December,” Baxley said. “I want to thank HARDI for this awesome opportunity.”

Baxley was one of more than 70 potential first-timer entrants ranging from branch and territory managers to presidents and CEOs of HARDI member companies.

“HARDI is a wonderful organization, that represents the wholesale distributor and their suppliers, with strong leadership, knowledge, and an awesome team of individuals with a true understanding of the obstacles we face each and every day in the HVACR industry,” Baxley added. “We, here at McCall’s, are proud to be a member of such an outstanding organization that truly cares.”

“HARDI Annual Conference is one of the premier events in the industry and the event for HVACR distribution,” said HARDI Marketing Manager Chris DeBoer. “We held this promotion to encourage members who have never attended before to see why Annual Conference attendance is a staple to HARDI membership, with all of the value and opportunities it brings to their businesses.”
