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 David Goldberg...
David has been a mentor and a sounding Board to the DPHA staff since the formation of the Association in 1992. There is no doubt that were it not for David's guidance and willingness to share, especially in the formative years, DPHA would not have achieved the level of success it has.
He has donated countless hours of time in advancing DPHA technology and providing programming support for the DPHA website. He spearheaded the DPHA Data Standard (another concept ahead of its time) and provided significant review and guidance to the development of the DPHA education program. When staff was having a difficult time writing the Locks and Latchset manual, David explained, "If you are going to write a manual about door hardware, you need to start with the door!" To this day, the Locks and Latchset manual is among the best resources to teach staff how to specify and sell door hardware.
David attended all of the initial DPHA Board meetings and provided sound and motivating guidance. His commitment to elevating the industry earned him the DPHA President's Award in 2005, and DPHA Distinguished Service Awards in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
David has repeatedly proven throughout his professional career that he is committed to showroom and industry excellence, and he has provided leadership to manufacturers, representatives and other dealers. David is a shining example of the long-term, multifaceted industry commitment and continuous contribution that is the benchmark of becoming a DPHA Fellow.
