CAFAA Announces New Program: The Bill Hopple Educational Scholarship Award
Willian (Bill) Hopple has been in the Fire Alarm industry for over 50 years and has played an integral role in the CAFAA organization, guiding it with a focus on education.
His legacy stems from his devotion to the educational aspects of Fire Technology and to his commitment to the industry and its people.
Many of its current leaders attended classes either developed and/or taught by Bill. Others have reached out to him for problem-solving assistance – to which Bill never turned away those in need of his help. He took the opportunity to make his answers into a teaching moment.
To Bill, ‘knowledge was/is power’; he helped to guide people around him to be more powerful by teaching wherever and whenever possible.
CAFAA re-names its scholarship ‘THE BILL HOPPLE EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP’ with the goal to continue to assist those who are driven to pursue their educational goals so that they too, may one day create their own legacy.
