NTCA leaders saw an opportunity to have a special NTCA night again at Coverings and seized the third- night spot for a brand new event NTCA Awards Night. In addition to the awards at the Total Solutions Plus gathering in the fall this spring ceremony allows NTCA to honor and recognize stellar residential and commercial work from our NTCA Five Star Contractors pres- ent Special Recognition Awards to two individuals for their dedica- tion to promoting the tile trade and membership and to present the NTCA Tile Person of the Year and Joe A. Tarver Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition to those awards presented in a warm family- type atmosphere this year NTCA offered something new The Tom Ade Ceramic Tile Scholarship Award which was established by the NTCA to provide educational opportunities in college or trade for children or grandchildren of NTCA contractor members. This year two scholarships were awarded and NTCA hopes to raise additional funds to offer multiple scholarships in the future.
