Ron and Katherine Harper inducted into NTHS Hall of Fame

Ron and Katherine Harper, founders of global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America, have been inducted into the National Technical Honor Society Hall of Fame for Educational Excellence. The induction is concurrent with the couple’s winning of the Silver Star Award, which is presented jointly by the American Technical Education Association (ATEA) and the National Technical Honor Society (NTHS), and recognizes exceptional support and commitment to advancing postsecondary technical education.

‘The sheer volume of what Ron and Katherine Harper have done to further technical education is astonishing,’ said Betty Krump, executive director of the American Technical Education Association. ‘Their foresight is amazing, and their philanthropy in talent and funding is incredibly generous.’

Each inductee's name, photograph, biography, and written tributes from friends and associates are placed in the NTHS Hall of Fame, permanently maintained on the society's Web site with the date, location, and person or organization presenting the award.
