Natural Stone Institute Announces Stone Scholarship Recipients
The Natural Stone Institute has announced the recipients of the 2023 Natural Stone Scholarship and Women in Stone Empowerment Scholarship. All recipients were be cel- ebrated during the association’s annual Awards Ceremony at StonExpo in Las Vegas on January 24.
Three individuals have received 2023 Natural Stone Scholarships. This schol- arship provides a trip to StonExpo and an opportunity to gain valuable technical and practical knowledge regarding the natural stone industry while meeting and network- ing with leading stone professionals.
Frances Alderson, General Manager for American Stone in Vancouver, Washington, credits her company col- leagues and the experienced local quarri- ers for teaching her the ins and outs of the stone they offer to contractors and retail clients. She intends to continuously drive sales, open new locations, and raise knowl- edgeable team members to be dynamic salespeople and leaders in the industry.
Tiffany Biagi, office manager for Advanced Granite Solutions (AGS), is currently studying towards a bachelor’s degree in environmental management with a minor in natural sciences. She hopes to continue using the resources offered through her employment and through the Natural Stone Institute to further incite her passion and solidify her educational and career direction.
Robert McCoy, inside sales for Dwyer Marble & Stone, believes that expanding his resources will serve him well when local fabricators reach out to him for solu- tions to their problems. He gratefully real- izes this opportunity to network and make new contacts in the industry.
