Hosted by AD Chief Financial Officer Drew Moyer with a panel of legal authorities from Dentons, more than 300 member participants heard a review of the program framework and received an update on partial loan forgiveness associated with the new legislation as well as guidance on proper use of the funds.

AD worked collaboratively with impacted divisional boards, committees and its associates to ensure a meaningful virtual experience that allows participants to experience the networking and relationship-building aspects of AD’s signature meetings.

IMARK Group’s shareholders are the members of four industry-leading cooperatives: IMARK Electrical, IMARK Plumbing, Luxury Products Group, and BLUE HAWK.

The ‘AD Live’ virtual meeting was introduced the week prior after AD decided to shift its spring network meetings to virtual formats in order to minimize the risks associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the current state of travel alerts across the country and limited sign up, Luxury Products Group (LPG) is postponing all regional training until later this year.

Arrangements are being made for the virtual format, where ISD-U.S. and PHCP will be conducting member business meetings, hosting Q&A sessions, and facilitating conference calls for network sessions.

The LPG-Hawkins Endowment Fund was established in 2019 with seed money from David Hawkins of David L. Hawkins Design Group.

This partnership will create the AD Safety Network Division, its only safety-dedicated division focused on growth of independent distributors specializing in the safety market.

LPG EXPO 2020 brought attendees together to celebrate achievements and discuss key initiatives.

AD’s eCommerce Solutions team welcomed more than 350 attendees across eight divisions and two countries to its fourth eCommerce Summit.
