On October 26, 1999, the Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) honored George A. L. Gant with the ASC Award. According to Catalyst*, the Award is presented to individuals who have contributed original research or whose significant contributions and high standing have advanced the adhesive and/or sealant industry. In addition, the Award recognizes those whose public life and activities reflect great credit to the industry.
Gant served the ASC for many years, chairing committees and ultimately leading the organization as its president from 1992 to 1994. During his many active years, he moved the council forward and maintained focus on the relatively new ASC Education Foundation, serving as its president from 1989 to 1990. During his 12-year tenure on the Executive Committee, he guided the ASC’s move toward an international presence with successful international conferences in 1990 and 1996.
