The group meeting included a motivational speech by competition swimmer and six-time Olympic medalist Brendan Hansen, who reminded members to live to a higher standard.
Following the meeting and industry showcase, Artisan Group members and exhibitors were treated to an acoustical performance by Grammy singer/songwriter Drew Womack.
“We always have a great time getting together to celebrate our successes of the past year, and our plans for the next year,” says Chad Seiders, Artisan Group executive director.
“However, this year was even more cause for celebration, because we have accomplished our goal of becoming the first stone group to achieve 100% Marble Institute of America accreditation.

“We also were thrilled to have such a great group of exhibitors at our fourth annual tradeshow.”
Newcomers to the show included Baca Systems, DuPont, TENAX and Grothouse Lumber.
