The Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) announced its new leadership team was installed yesterday at its Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference in Washington, DC. At the meeting, the WDMA Board of Directors elected Ann Duebner, of Eggers Industries of Two Rivers, WI, as the association's 2012-2013 chair, replacing outgoing Chair Elaine Sagers of Pella Corp. in Pella, IA.
"As the industry continues to recover from the economic downtown, WDMA will continue its laser-like focus on meeting the needs of our members through our efforts in advocacy, certification and standards, technical activities and networking and education. We will also continue to grow new initiatives like the National Architectural Door Council and incorporate technology with an enhanced website and the development of web-based training programs," said Duebner. "This year will be marked by efforts to remain relevant for members of different generations and for members with high expectations of a positive return on their investment of time and money. I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute to our industry and further support WDMA by serving as Chair of the Board for the next year."
Duebner serves as Vice President of Sales and Administration for Eggers Industries, a leader in the architectural wood door market. Founded in 1884, the company originally started selling baskets to local farmers and grew to manufacture wood products for all types of applications, and it now operates two facilities in Wisconsin.
"I'm looking forward to working with Ann as the new chair of WDMA. Her creativity, passion and knowledge about the industry will certainly help move WDMA to the next level as an effective advocate for the industry and help us continue to enhance member services for all segments of the industry," said WDMA President Michael O'Brien. "I also want to thank Elaine Sagers for her leadership, dedication, and hard work over the past year on behalf of the entire industry. The entire association benefited from her steady hand and guidance during these difficult economic times."
In addition to Duebner, the other members of the 2012-2013 WDMA Executive Committee are:
