About the WCMA Distinguished Career Award
The WCMA Distinguished Career Award honors wire and cable professionals who serve the industry for at least 25 years and demonstrate outstanding professional excellence and exceptional personal character. The award originally carried the name of the late Charles D. Scott (1915โ1983), founder and president of Northeast Wire Co.
