During the 2019 Luxury Products Group Spring Expo, Executive Director Jeff MacDowell announced that a special interest group for young leaders was being formed.

This year, Progressive Plumbing Supply Co. gave students hands-on learning time, teaching them to install a faucet and drain piping on a floor-mounted laundry sink. 

With the mission to develop more effective leaders and a goal of helping women grow personally and professionally, event organizaers designed a curriculum that focused on change intelligence, mentoring and workforce development, personal branding, networking, negotiating, and empowering women to be their best selves. 

A total of 50 students received scholarships.

The inaugural scholarship will be $500.

The name Holohan is well-known in the plumbing, heating, cooling and piping (PHCP) community. As a result of hard work, there are likely two names that come to mind when you hear Holohan: Dan and Erin.

When completed, "Hot Commodity" will be a full-length film, with the primary intent of reaching an audience of high school and college students.

The competition challenged students to create a one-of-a-kind video showcasing their team’s technical skills in action.
