The evening continued with the coveted Instructor Awards, which named Barry Costa as the winner in the Top Gun (most certified firm applications) category, David Hodge as the Globe Trotter (most certification courses) award-winner and Joe Dobbins as the winner in the Full House (most students taught) category.
