This award recognizes an MCA member who recently made significant volunteer contributions to MCA. It was established to honor Pat Bush, a long-time MCA board member. Nelson, the 2020 recipient, has been serving MCA since 1995.
Over the years, Nelson has supported MCA at the METALCON trade show by setting up and documenting the original MCA educational product demonstrations, static displays, Solar Bay demonstrations and most recently, the MCA Games. She has served on the selection committee for activities and tours at MCA's annual events and also attended the Roof Consultants Institute Tradeshow, The Metal Pavilion at The International Roofing Expo, Metal Building Manufacturer Association and Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association events. Nelson served as Assistant to the 2014 -2016 MCA Chairman and continues to participate in MCA functions.
"We'd like to thank Jan for all the work she does," said MCA's Executive Committee Chair, Ed Karper. "Her years of ongoing dedication and commitment distinguish her as the association's 'unofficial historian.'"
