Celebrating Success
The Story Of The Cardinal
Crystal Grooming Achievement Awards
Recognition, encouragement, solidarity – all are important in spurring
greater achievements in any human endeavor. It was this conviction that
prompted Tony de Vos, the president of Cardinal Laboratories to create
the Cardinal Crystal Grooming Achievement Awards in 1988. As the head
of a company that at the time had been serving the groomers for 40
years, DeVos envisioned an award that would celebrate the achievements
of industry leaders, and inspire a greater sense of sharing and
cooperation among grooming professionals.
Since
the first Cardinal Crystal Grooming Achievement Award was presented,
DeVos’ vision has blossomed into one of the most widely known and
appreciated events in the grooming industry. Presented every year at the
Intergroom Show in New Jersey, the awards recognize outstanding
achievement in six areas of competitive grooming: American Groomer of
the Year, International Groomer of the Year, Grooming Judge of the Year,
Grooming Journalists of the Year, Most Congenial Groom and Groomer (or
Grooming Organization) that makes the most significant contribution
toward advancing the industry.
The
Cardinal Crystal Grooming Achievement Awards provide a vehicle for
grooming industry members to recognize the exceptional accomplishments
of their peers. Nominations are made by professional groomers on the
basis of strict criteria of excellence for each of the six categories.
Over
the years, many of the most well-known and accomplished groomers have
won Cardinal Crystal Grooming Achievement Awards. Aside from providing
these groomers with some well-deserved recognition, the awards have also
served as a communications platform, making it easier for them to share
their knowledge and insights with other groomers, making the entire
industry stronger and more professional in the process – and that’s just
what Tony De Vos had in mind when he create the awards all those years
ago.Click
