GANA Building Envelope Contractors Division Announces New Technical Committee Chair

The Glass Association of North America's (GANA) Building Envelope Contractors (BEC) Division announced that Henry Taylor of Kawneer Company, Inc., is the new chairperson of its Technical Committee. Taylor helmed the committee's recent meeting in Las Vegas as a part of the Ninth Annual BEC Conference. He succeeds Charles Clift of Curtain Wall Design and Consulting Inc.

"The BEC Division Technical Committee has a proven history of success," said Taylor. "I look forward to guiding the Committee as we build on those successes and continue our valuable contributions to this industry. I hope that others will see the impact that the Technical Committee can have and will join our effort."

Taylor currently manages the newly formed Architectural Services Team for Kawneer. In that position, Taylor works with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as Kawneer's contact for AIA CES programs, as well as working with the USGBC as Kawneer's contact for promoting Kawneer products for their interaction with LEED.

Taylor graduated from Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing. He started his career in construction with a private industrial developer and builder in the Atlanta metro area. He later joined the Kawneer Company as an Architectural Sales Representative, where he worked in the Detroit market before moving into Field Sales in western Michigan and northern Indiana.

He returned to Atlanta to work with YKK before joining Arch Aluminum and Glass in sales and marketing for the company. At Arch, Taylor worked on their national marketing effort to introduce new products and assist in the promotion of existing products, before returning to Kawneer in his current position.
