... was perhaps the most “far-reaching” in many years for ERA. Last year, the ERA Board unanimoulsy approved Life Membership for Werner Hohmann, the European rep and business executive who has supported the association for many years with its European activities and particularly with ERA’s participation in Electronica, the world’s largest electronics trade show. Soon after Hohmann retired, ERA Hall of Fame members Jess Spoonts (left) and Tim Eyermann, CPMR (right), both of whom worked with Hohman as ERA Chairs of International Development, traveled to Germany with their wives on a vacation. They arranged to visit Hohmann during that trip and surprised him with the award. |
