Craig Kirby Honored With RVDA’s Titan Award

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, RV Industry Association President & CEO Craig Kirby was presented the RV Dealer Association’s highest honor, the Titan Award. The award is presented in recognition of the pioneering efforts of individuals whose energy and vision have made RV travel the preferred leisure activity for millions of Americans.

“For more than 30 years, Craig has been a steadfast champion of the RV industry — first as the RV Industry Association’s General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, and now as President of the Association,” RVDA Chair Larry Trout III said in presenting the award. 

“Throughout his career, Craig has been a trusted partner to RVDA, working collaboratively to promote and protect the market for our products. His leadership has consistently reflected a deep understanding of the evolving business landscape and the needs of our industry. From advancing technician training through the RV Technical Institute, to expanding consumer outreach via Go RVing, to tackling key government affairs issues like tax fairness for travel trailer inventory financing — Craig has worked with RVDA leaders, past and present, to strengthen the entire RV business,” Larry continued.

“Wow, I am truly humbled,” Craig said in accepting the award and thanking Larry, RVDA President Phil Ingrassia, and the RVDA Board. 

He also thanked the exceptional team at the RV Industry Association, our dedicated Board, and engaged membership whose passion drives everything the Association does. He also gave special recognition to his wife, Lori.

“To me, this award is a reflection of the collaboration and unity across our entire industry. Together, we have accomplished so much. From Go RVing to RVTI to major government affairs successes like the dealer floorplan financing bill. And through our Emerging Leaders Coalition we are ensuring that this unity and strength will continue for generations to come. And that is critical as many industries are going after our customers from AirBNB, cruise, and hotels,” Craig continued.

Craig joins a distinguished group of Titan Award recipients — including Dan Pearson, Sherman Goldenberg, Duane Spader, and Pete Liegl — whose contributions have left a lasting mark on our industry.
