The Society of Cosmetic Chemists California Chapter honored Brian M. Kolevar, Coast Southwest regional sales manager, with the Chapter Merit Award. This award is presented to one member of the 650+ member group annually in recognition of “Outstanding Service and Distinguished Leadership in Society Activities.”
Mr. Kolevar continues to serve as he has for nearly a decade as business manager for the Cosmegram, the chapter’s official newsletter and also serves on the Chapter Board of Directors.
He was presented the award trophy by Angie Inouye, 2015 chair, at the organization’s January meeting.
