At the 2026 POWERCLEAN conference in Orlando, our very own Judy Bowers was honored with the 2026 CETA Lifetime Achievement Award.

CETA President Gus Alexander presented the award, sharing a few kind words before welcoming Judy to the stage.

“Judy has been actively involved in CETA every year for over four decades,” Alexander said. “She served on the CETA Board of Directors in 2010 and 2012, and on the CETA Education Board of Directors from 2015 through 2020. Judy was instrumental in helping start the ‘Women of CETA’ and has stepped up wherever she was needed.”

Accepting the award was an emotional moment for Judy, who reflected on her years in business, her time with CETA, and her late husband.

“For forty years, the pressure washing industry has been a very important part of my life,” Bowers said. “What began as my husband’s career eventually became our business, our livelihood, and a huge part of my entire family’s life.”
