Industrial Technology Leadership Series


Return to History Page


Dr. Charles Keith
"Father of NAIT"

NAIT is interested in preserving the history of our discipline. The Industrial Technology Leadership Series was initiated with three individuals (Bertrand, Keil, and Keith) who served as the first three presidents of NAIT. These three individuals were instrumental in organizing and maintaining the NAIT accreditation program during the early years of the Association. We will be adding additional leaders to this series over the next few months and years. If you are interested in serving on the NAIT Historical Committee please contact Al Rudisill. The NAIT Executive Board approved the Selection Criteria and Process for adding individuals to the Series at their April 16, 1999 meeting.
