2007 EGSA President Gary Kidwell, ASCO Power Technologies, presented Mr. Niekamp with the Gordon Johnson Lifetime Achievement Award. Established in 1994, The Gordon Johnson Award is given on an as-needed basis to honor an individual who has devoted his career to the betterment of the Association and the industry.

Mr. Niekamp served on the Board of Directors from 1997 to 1999 and again as a fill-in director from 1999 to 2000. He has served on the Membership Committee for at least 20 years holding various offices on that committee.
