Induction into the Kitchen & Bath Hall of Fame is one of NKBA’s highest honors, recognizing individuals who have profoundly shaped the industry. This year, that distinction was awarded posthumously to Ric Coggins — a devoted NKBA leader, past Arizona Chapter President, National Vice President, and lifelong mentor.

Ric’s nearly 50-year career spanned design, retail, and global appliance leadership, including more than two decades with BSH. Even in retirement, he remained deeply committed to serving the Arizona Chapter and mentoring emerging leaders. His legacy is defined not only by professional achievement, but by generosity, humility, and unwavering dedication to others.
