ROLLING MEADOWS, ILLINOIS (JUNE 23, 2010) – Plumbing Manufacturers Institute (PMI) President Lee Mercer of Moen Incorporated has made his selection for a new co-chair to help lead PMI’s Fair Trade Committee. Mike Douglass, manager of faucet engineering for Elkay Manufacturing Company, will serve alongside existing co-chair, Dale Gallmann, product compliance manager for Bradley Corporation.
While effective immediately, the three-year term for this position officially begins with the 2010 PMI Fall Meeting, being held in Washington, D.C. October 3-6 at the Liaison Capitol Hill. Mr. Mercer’s decision to appoint Mr. Douglass was based upon PMI meeting attendance, leadership, expertise and an overall commitment to PMI.
“I have been looking for an opportunity to become more involved with PMI and contribute to the organization,” said Mr. Douglass. “When the opening on the Fair Trade Committee came up I jumped at it. I think this is a critical area for all members and will continue to be of growing interest so I was very pleased when I was selected.”
PMI congratulates Mr. Douglass and thanks all those who submitted their names for the available position.
