Tim Eilers of Francis & Nygren Foundry receives the Ductile Iron Society's
Annual Award
In 2003, the Ductile Iron Society established a "Member Service Committee" and asked that their mission be to increase the membership of the Ductile Iron Society. Actually, a committee was designated before a committee chairman was found. A member came forth and volunteered to head up this committee and the results have been spectacular. DIS has added 8 new Foundry members and 5 new Associate members in the past 18 months. A great deal of time and effort went into designating potential members,
establishing a plan to contact them and the awesome task of following up with all the companies that showed an initial interest. The DIS rewarded that effort by naming committee chairman Tim Eilers of Francis & Nygren Foundry to receive the Ductile Iron Society's Annual Award.
