Lifetime Achievement Award in Honor of Martin Fromm

Named for former AWDA President Martin Fromm, the award recognizes individuals whose long-term commitment and performance have distinguished them within the motor vehicle aftermarket. AWDA Chairperson Fletcher Lord III presented the award. 

As chairman and CEO of Fisher Auto Parts, Bo Fisher has built upon a remarkable family legacy while leading one of the industry’s most respected independent distribution organizations. Under his leadership, the company expanded to approximately 500 company-owned locations and many more independent locations across 18 states, achieving tenfold growth over two decades while remaining debt-free. 

Fisher has championed collaboration among independent distributors and built an organization grounded in relationships, customer service, integrity and commitment to the professional automotive service industry. His dedication to education continues the vision of his father, Art Fisher, through the Art Fisher Memorial Scholarship program, annual scholarships and the KOI/Fisher Training Cavalcade. His contributions earned him the Mort Schwartz Excellence in Education Award. 

Throughout his career, Fisher has demonstrated humility, loyalty, generosity and a willingness to share knowledge and opportunity. His legacy extends beyond the company he has grown to the industry he has strengthened, the people he has inspired and the opportunities he has created.
