(TOPEKA) - The Glass Association of North America (GANA) today announced the re-election of two Division chairs for a second two year term. Re-elected were Max Perilstein of Arch Aluminum & Glass, Co., as the chairman of the Building Envelope Contractors (BEC) Division; and Bob Larson of Craftsman Fabricated Glass, Ltd. as the chairman of the Insulating Division.
