A big congratulations to our 2026 MAHPBA award winners!

Bryan Blasband received the Magnotti Award for his dedication, leadership, and impact on the hearth, patio & barbecue industry throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

Rick Soccio was honored with the President’s Award, personally selected by the MAHPBA President in recognition of his outstanding support and contributions to the association and industry.

We’re grateful for everything Bryan and Rick do for MAHPBA and the industry as a whole!

Earlier this week, members of the MAHPBA Board had a great session with Heather Hockenberry from Hockenberry Coaching and Consulting! She shared some really helpful insight on communication, working better together, and how we can continue making thoughtful decisions that best support our members. Thanks again, Heather, for a fun and informative session!
