About the Award

The power transmission/motion control industry lost a true champion when Bob Callahan passed away in January 2021. A past president and 25+ year PTDA Foundation Trustee, Bob was passionate about the mission of the PTDA Foundation. When asked in a volunteer profile why he volunteers with the PTDA Foundation, Bob's response was "I strongly believe one must leave our industry better than we found it. The PTDA Foundation allows this to happen for me."

In recognition of Bob's commitment to and passion for the advancement of new talent within the industry, the PTDA Foundation created the Robert K. Callahan Advancing Leaders Award. 

 

To support this award, we invite you to make a contribution to the Robert K. Callahan Advancing Leaders Fund.
