DPHA created the Council of Fellows to recognize career accomplishments. In keeping with DPHA’s tradition of innovation and defying convention, election to DPHA’s Council of Fellows is not simply an honor. It also is a call to continue to serve our organization and industry. The Council of Fellows does not have an agenda or mandate. The Council is expected to undertake projects that it deems important and vital to the continued success of our industry. As DPHA has matured, the organization continues to look to the Council of Fellows as a strategic think tank.
This week we feature Bob Lando...
Bob Lando was a pioneer and leader of the decorative plumbing and hardware industry for more than four decades. Bob was responsible for Community Home Supply’s first venture into the decorative plumbing and hardware industry in the mid 1970s. He quickly realized the potential of the burgeoning decorative market and positioned his family’s business to be Chicago's decorative leader long before many other showrooms opened their doors.
Bob was a driving force behind the development of DPHA's Education Program, providing insightful comments and directions on drafts of the DPHA Education Program manuals long before they are published. Bob's insight has benefited the industry greatly. He also was one of the founding members of DPHA and served as the first president of the Forte Buying Group. Bob also served on the DPHA Board of Directors. Bob has retired from Community Home Supply (now known as Crawford Supply, Chicago - North), but continues to give back to his industry through his active participation on the DPHA Council of Fellows and through his commitment to the Fellows Memorial Scholarship Program.
