This award "celebrates the product, service and manufacturer making a difference in the industry." (You can read more about the EMS on page 6.) • Team Leader: Tom McCartin, se- nior director for refueling operations at Southwest Airlines. His award honors "an individual who has taken a leadership role with personnel." Tom's nomination read in part: "His team is a refection of himself, he makes honest and ethical behavior a key value and his employees follow his suit. His delegation is identifying the strengths of his team, and capi- talizing on them. He is very clear and succinctly describing what he wants done this extremely important. He can relate his vision to his team." • Lifetime Achievement Awards: Alan J. Janis, late founder of J&B; Aviation Services. This award goes "to the person who has demonstrated commitment to the industry through numerous years of dedicated service." In 1991, J&B; Aviation Services, Inc. opened its 2,400 square-foot offce and warehouse facility in Fairfeld, CA. The company, founded by Janis and Bruce K. Warne, flled the void in the marketplace for products and services that the absence of McCormick Morgan Power Sys- tems Engineers had created. J&B;'s expertise and insistence upon premium quality products promptly gave them the reputation as the in- dustry leader. Their unique 400 Hz cable assembly designs, with op- tions for replaceable noses, swiftly became the most popularly used assemblies both with commercial and government customers. In addition to this month's cover story on Rampmaster's award-winning prod- uct, we will follow with cover stories highlighting McCartin and remember- ing Janis in our May and June/July issues, respectively. Jeff Greeson from Southwest Airlines accepted Tom McCartin's Team Leader Award from Missy Zingsheim, associate publisher. Bruce K. Warne talked about starting J&B; Aviation Services with his late partner Alan J. Janis, winner of our Lifetime Achievement Award.
