Make way for the 10th class of the LP Gas Hall of Fame

The 10th class of the LP Gas Hall of Fame will be honored April 22 at the Omni Nashville Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

LP Gas launched the Hall of Fame in 2012 as a way to honor the industry’s legends, icons and leaders, who are chosen by an anonymous selection committee composed of different segments of the propane industry. The committee receives nominations throughout the year. An induction dinner has been held annually except for two years impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The event serves as a propane industry celebration of past and present leaders, who gather on the eve of the National Propane Gas Association’s Southeastern Convention & International Propane Expo.

This year, LP Gas will honor a state propane association executive (Steve Ahrens), industry consultant (Tom Jaenicke), entrepreneur (Billy Prim) and independent marketer (Don Schultz).

Learn more about this year’s inductees:

• Steve Ahrens, Missouri Propane Gas Association
• Tom Jaenicke, ATomiK Creative Solutions
• Billy Prim, Blue Rhino
• Don Schultz, Schultz Gas Service
