honor bestowed by the Association’s President to an
individual who has shown exemplary dedication to
the industry through their service and work on behalf
of the Association.
Brock, who started in the 1950’s as an automotive

sional automotive recy-
cling industry for his
commitment and enthu-

motive recyclers and
ARA.
Ed MacDonald, now the
Immediate Past-

in his remarks about his
choice for the 2014
President’s Award,
“Jerry Brock and Brock
Supply have exhibited at
every ARA Convention
since 1967. His history
of support to ARA, the culture of giving back that is
instilled within his company, and service within his
home state of Arizona speak volumes about the kind
of man Jerry is. His enthusiasm and passion for the
industry is contagious. Jerry is a true asset to the
automotive recycling industry and we are lucky to
have him.”
“I am very grateful and humbled to receive this
award,” said Jerry Brock. “The association has
benefited me as an automotive recycler and an as-
sociate member. The support of ARA as well as the

less. I dedicate this honor to past and present mem-
bers of the ARA.”
