Bob Jerman Honored with the Phil Tarsovich Lifetime Leadership Award

GLEN ELLYN, IL, March 18, 2024 – During the 62nd Annual Convention of the International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) held February 19-23, 2024, in Palm Harbor, Florida, ISSA honored ISSA Technical Director, Bob Jerman, with the Phil Tarsovich Lifetime Leadership Award.

Phil Tarsovich was an industry leader and contributed significantly to ISSA and the pavement preservation industry. After Phil’s passing in 2019, the ISSA Board of Directors collectively wanted to honor Phil and the Phil Tarsovich Lifetime Leadership Award was created.

This prestigious award’s qualifications include nomination from a current ISSA board member or past president, 25 years plus experience in pavement preservation, ISSA committee and board experience, and continued involvement and support of ISSA.

ISSA President Dave Welborn shared Bob is known for his dedication and passion for the asphalt emulsion and pavement preservation industry. His customer focus served him well as he led Ingevity's global technical service efforts for over 20 years. As ISSA's Technical Director since 2007, Bob provided the guidance and oversight to provide the premier technical resources that our association is known for the world over. Bob's impact on ISSA and the industry will continue to be felt for years to come.”
