DETROIT, MI -- The Detroit Ceramic Tile Contractors Association (DCTCA) honored industry consultant Robert Hund with a Lifetime Achievement Award during its annual banquet on February 9. It was only the second time the award has been given since the association was formed more than 75 years ago.
Robert Hund has served the association in a promotional and technical capacity since 1963, when the DCTCA renamed its promotion fund to the Great Lakes Ceramic Tile Council. Hund, an experienced advertising executive, was hired by the DCTCA to publicize the reliable installation practices of the association¿s tile contractor members in order to compete with the introduction of architectural finishing materials advertised "as good as" or "better than" ceramic tile surfaces.
