This year’s Canadian Fluid Power Association
(www.cfpa.ca) annual general meeting (AGM) was marked by honors on two
fronts.
-
John Bachmann, the long-time chair of the CFPA has retired and was honored by the association for his service. Bachmann, a DPN Editorial Advisory Board member, was the Corporate Sales, Marketing and Quality manager at Wainbee (where he has been succeeded by Doug Newton, formerly of SMC Pneumatics, and earlier in his career, Wainbee).
Bachmann is active in the Industrial Careers Pathway (ICP) program and curriculum at Mohawk College and plans to continue there in the fall. In his last report as CFPA chair, Bachmann reported that the ICP program at Mohawk has produced 18 graduates to date. The program (www.industrialcareerspathway.com) is designed to provide business, sales and marketing skills to technical personnel at industrial distributors.
Honors at the AGM in the form of scholarships also went to three college students graduating from fluid-power related programs at Centennial College (www.centennialcollege.ca) and Mohawk College (www.mohawkcollege.ca).
Receiving the Hans de Waard Memorial Scholarship sponsored by Bosch Rexroth Canada Corp. (www.boschrexroth.ca) was Kevin Griese of Mohawk’s Industrial & Mechanical Engineering Program.
Qingbo Yu of the Centennial College Automation & Robotics Program was awarded the Edward Stock Memorial Scholarship, sponsored by Flodraulic Canada (www.flodraulic.com).
The DPN-sponsored Canadian Fluid Power Association Scholarship went to graduate Christopher Angus, also of the Automation & Robotics Program at Centennial.
