Huber, Becker Earn Top Honors from Association for Linen Management

Annual awards fete top manager, allied tradesperson

RICHMOND, Ky. — The Association for Linen Management (ALM) has named G. George Huber, RLLD, manager of laundry and linen services at Gundersen Health System, La Crosse, Wis., its 2015 Heywood Wiley Manager of the Year, and Angela Becker, Ecolab, Eagan, Minn., its 2015 Allied Tradesperson of the Year.

Huber demonstrated “outstanding leadership, chapter involvement, community service, dedication and devotion” to ALM and the textile care service industry in earning the award named for ALM’s founder, the association says.

“I am deeply honored to receive this award,” says Huber. “Ten years ago, I knew nothing about this business. Everything I have learned so far has come from the wonderful help of all the ‘experts’ in the allied trades and all of my ALM friends, both nationally and through the Upper Mississippi Valley Chapter, which I’ve served as treasurer for 10 years.”

Becker is the senior technical account program leader for Textile Care RD&E at Ecolab. Her vast knowledge of the industry, her involvement in her chapter and outside community, and willingness to “go the extra mile” made her the association’s top allied tradesperson.

“I am honored to receive this wonderful award from the Association of Linen Management,” says Becker. “Representing Ecolab as a leader in the commercial laundry business through working with ALM has been a wonderful experience. The support and feedback from my team, the commercial laundry community, and the Upper Mississippi Valley Chapter of ALM has had a great impact on my professional growth.”

The awards announcement was made at ALM’s member reception during the Clean Show in Atlanta.

ALM originated in 1939 as the National Association of Institutional Laundry Management (NAILM), and promotes itself today as the industry’s resource for information and support to textile care services professionals.
