The 2008 ProDealer of the Year Awards Dinner, sponsored by Weyerhaeuser iLevel, are held in conjunction with the 2008 ProDealer Industry Summit Oct. 1-3, 2008, in Chantilly, Va. at the Westfields Marriott.

"Curtis Lumber and McDonald Brothers deserve recognition for their ability to sustain growth, build relationships and service their customers," said Ken Clark, editor in chief of Home Channel News. "They both have tremendous history, dating back to the 19th century; and both have been equally successful in earning the respect of their peers today."

Ballston Spa, N.Y.-based Curtis Lumber operates 22 units and showed an 11 percent sales increase on the HCN Top 500 Industry Scoreboard. The company is looking to capture long-term benefits through its acquisition of Gregory Supply.

Five-unit dealer McDonald Brothers, based in Southern Pines, N.C., showed a 14.3 percent sales increase on the Home Channel News Top 500 Industry Scoreboard and has achieved success partly by retaining key employees for 20 and 30 year tenures.

"Without a doubt the main reason for our award is the longevity and efforts of our great group of employees," said Angus McDonald, of McDonald Brothers, as he congratulated his employees and attributed the honor to their efforts.

The 2008 ProDealer of the Year Awards Reception, sponsored by Design House, will open festivities at 5:30pm. Awards dinner presentations will commence at 6:30pm and will honor Independent ProDealer of the Year, Multi-Unit ProDealer of the Year, and Supplier of the Year.
