Franklin, TN —The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) recently reached another milestone, following its recent tenth anniversary, in presenting its first Lifetime Achievement Award to Chicago area resident William P. Hite, President Emeritus of the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States, Canada (UA).

There is no one more deserving of the USA’s first Lifetime Achievement Award than Mr. Hite,” said Scott Vance, the USA’s CEO and executive director. “He was one of our organization’s founding fathers and continually pioneered and supported every facet of the USA's growth over the past decade. President Emeritus Hite spent his entire career improving the lives of UA members both on and off the job and he continues to be a committed and devoted sportsman and conservationist.”
