The EPIC Awards just announced the Todd Lloyd Scholarship as a way to honor the late leader, innovator and legend in the Michigan meetings and events industry.
Lloyd humbly entered the industry with a small shop, growing and evolving the company into one of the largest linen companies in the country, Chair Covers & Linens, as well as a popular events company, Top That! Event. Additionally, Lloyd was honored throughout his lifetime with numerous NACE and EPIC awards, including the Michael Havens Award and received Michigan Meetings + Events’ 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award.
Education was Lloyd’s passion and he strived to involve students in the NACE chapter, believing in the importance of the next generation. “As leaders, we always want the organizations we care for so deeply to survive beyond our time at the helm,” Lloyd said. “I’m confident…the next wave of leaders will take our [industry] to even greater heights. It is my hope that during my turn at defining [our industry] I will have left a legacy others will aspire to improve upon.”
To support his passion, EPIC is dedicating the scholarships in Lloyd’s honor and supporting the next wave of leadership in the industry. The scholarships will be awarded on March 19, 2014 at the EPIC Awards.
