The National Association of Innovative Lighting Distributors (NAILD) recently announced that it will keep the memory of the late industry icon Paul Hafner alive with a memorial scholarship.
Hafner, who passed away in July, was known as a thought leader who launched NAILD’s Lighting Specialist training programs.
NAILD is now accepting scholarship donations, which will fund the lighting education of the first three recipients in 2019. One recipient will receive a free “The Transition of Legacy Sources to LED” (LS-I) course, another will receive a free “Lighting Specialist II” (LS-II) course and a third will receive a free Lighting Specialist-Controls” (LS-C) course. The application deadline is March 1, 2019. Recipients will be notified by April 1. (LS-1 completion is a prerequisite for LS-II and LS-C.) To apply for a scholarship, click here.
“Paul was inspiring,” said Cory Schneider, NAILD President and CEO of Lighting Unlimited “Any question you had on lighting, Paul had a story that would make you think. Most educators have never been in the field, but Paul was a field guy who became an educator. He was passionate and made it his life’s work until he died in July 2018.”
NAILD also offers the Lighting Specialist- Controls (LS-C) training developed by Craig DiLouie. Energy codes are driving adoption of automatic lighting controls in new commercial buildings, while technology, utility rebates and strong growth in LED upgrades have increased demand for controls in existing buildings. Customers are looking for experts who can tell them what to do and select products.
To donate to the Paul Hafner Memorial Scholarship Fund, send a check to NAILD, 191 Clarksville Road, Princeton Junction, NJ 08550, Attn: Greta Cuyler.
