During the NTPDA Annual Conference and Trade Show we were able to sit down with several of our newer members to chat about their business. These new members were delighted to not only be featured in this issue of The Bulletin but also make it to Insight on Business the News Hour as business interviews there.
Where Are They Now?
In a new series about former winners of the NTPDA Scholarship we sat down with Tom Roelofsen who is not only on our Board of Directors but also the COO of Abilene Machine based in Abilene, Kansas. We chat about his early days, his appreciation for the scholarship and more.
