Recently, the Board of Directors of the National Fastener Distributors Association voted unanimously to retain Vickie Lester (Lester Management Services) to provide executive management for the Association. The transition of the NFDA office from SmithBucklin in Chicago, Illinois to the Lester Management Services office in Los Alamitos, California will occur during the next few months.

 “As the new Executive Director of the NFDA, Vickie will assist the Board in providing our members with exciting new professional development opportunities, networking experiences and a national policy voice,” said incoming NFDA President Jay Queenin of Specialty Bolt & Screw Inc. (Agawam, Massachusetts).  “In addition, we believe that Vickie is uniquely positioned in the fastener industry to advance the NFDA’s strategic vision of coordinating more closely with other fastener associations,” said Queenin.
