When times get challenging, leaders rise to the occasion. In my opinion, Ron Nash,LATICRETEInternationalSenior VicePresidentofSalesandMarketing NorthAmerica,isanexampleofa leaderwhoisembracingthechanges around us, and reaching out to commu-nicate and share with contractors around the country. Ron is an active and consistent presence on social media, and despite the challenges he faces leading a large installation materials company and raising a family, he always seems to have time to answer questions from tile contractors, and often initiates and engages them in thought-provoking conversations. For this reason, I chose Ron as our One-to-One interview this month. 58 TileLetter | June 2020'
