“This year, in addition to the distributor’s votes, we had an
exceptionally large number of customers who participated in the
voting process,” continued Ghirardi. “This large and varied turnout
reflected not only the perception of the distribution organization
but also the overall market opinion, appreciation and validation of
Fairchild’s commitment to the industry.”
