Madera, CA – Friday, June 13, 2014 – In memory of the late Ron Naus, President of B-K Lighting + TEKA Illumination, a $100,000 endowment has been established.
Company Founder Douglas W. Hagen of B-K Lighting + TEKA Illumination, announced the establishment of the Ron Naus Memorial Endowment of $100,000 at the IALD Educational Trust Benefit dinner on Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Hagen attended the IALD fundraiser on behalf of the sudden passing of Ron Naus, President of B-K Lighting + TEKA Illumination and the IALD Educational Trust supported by his entire management team.
“I have lost a good friend and business partner. It has been said, to be successful you must surround yourself with people smarter than you. And that was definitely the case with Ron.” said Douglas Hagen. “Through this endowment may we honor Ron’s professional accomplishments and further promote his indelible legacy in our industry today and decades to come.”
Barbara Horton, FIALD and President of the IALD adds, “We will all sadly miss Ron’s great wit, innovative thinking and passion for his work. In his short tenure as IALD Trust president, Ron inspired his board in their fiduciary role to support lighting education by promoting the notion of ‘doing good even better.’ In his honor, the IALD will continue to build on his momentum and fulfill his wish to build a sustainable endowment for the IALD Education Trust.”
