“The strength of our industry depends on professionals with exceptional knowledge, intellect and commitment,” said Kathy Milligan, vice president, education and training for LOMA. Those who achieve the distinction of ‘top student’ within a LOMA program are among the most impressive and dedicated professionals in our industry. We congratulate Travis on this outstanding accomplishment.”
