Jim Seay, president of Premier Rides, received the prestigious ASTM International 2015 William T. Cavanaugh Memorial Award in September.

 Seay, who heads up the Baltimore-based amusement ride manufacturer, was honoured for his extraordinary contributions to the field of international voluntary standards for the amusement industry.

 The Cavanaugh Memorial Award commemorates William Cavanaugh, chief executive officer of ASTM from 1970 to 1985, who firmly established the group as the world leader in the development and dissemination of voluntary consensus standards.
