EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA)

Soon after last November's Fall Board & Working Group Conference, Ed Marsh 🇺🇸 asked EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA)'s Stephen T. Sears, MBA, CEP about his perspectives on industrial trade associations in the Industrial Growth Institute podcast. Ed has done this for quite a while, and Sears appeared on Episode 44. Ed is a founder, US Army veteran, independent board director, manufacturing marketing expert, and industrial sales leader who has marketed and sold millions of dollars with of B2B manufacturing stuff world. Marsh and Sears have known each other for almost 50 years, and this podcast gathers insights, trends and best practices for B2B growth in an energetic conversation format. As advertised, Ed asked a series of very thought-provoking questions that made me think about experiences over the past several decades, and we had a lively and engaging discussion. In fact, if one is curious about Sears' philosophy regarding the role of trade associations and how members can attain maximum benefit from them, he talks about (as well as many other things) here. You can access the podcast in the comments of Ed's original post. Thanks again to Ed for providing this great opportunity, and it was great to reconnect after all of this time. #tradeassociation #manufacturing #membership #memberbenefits #nonprofit #taxexempt #roleofassociations #howmemberscanleveragemembership #EIFS #EIMA #industryperspective

At last November's Board & Working Group Conference, the EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA)'s Board of Directors elected Jose Berlingeri of Sto Corp. as its newest President effective January 1, 2025. Jose brings extensive industry experience and a forward-thinking approach to his role as President. When asked about his new role, Jose said, "I am honored to serve as President of EIMA during this pivotal time for the EIFS industry. Together with the talented Board and our dedicated members, we will continue to drive the adoption of energy-efficient building practices, foster innovation, and elevate the impact of EIFS on the built environment." Jose succeeds Steve Smithwick of Master Wall Inc., who led the industry association for the previous two terms. In sharing his thoughts on the transition, Steve said, "it has been a privilege to serve as EIMA's President for the past four years. I am confident that under Jose Berlingeri's leadership, EIMA will continue to achieve new milestones and solidify its role as a champion for the EIFS industry." The Board also elected Vanessa Henley (Feldkamp) of Dryvit Systems, Eric Hindson of Sika USA and Rafaël Bao of ADEX Systems Inc. to officer roles. With this new leadership, EIMA will continue to advocate for the adoption of energy-efficient building practices, foster research and development, and serve as the voice of the EIFS industry. EIMA's staff looks forward to working with the new leaders on these initiatives and urges everyone to read the press release below. www.eima.com #eima #EIFS #CEO #officers #boardofdirectors #newleadership #industrymomentum #keepitmoving

As we conclude 2024 and begin 2025, the EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA) honors the longstanding service and efforts of the late President Jimmy Carter https://lnkd.in/eH5ZRCHd - especially with respect to energy policy. Not only did President Carter advocate for the use of clean coal and safeguarded atomic energy in the aftermath of the energy crisis, but his Administration - along with the US Congress - established the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as we know it today. Interestingly, much of the vision of this energy policy articulated almost 50 years ago is being actualized right now. One example of this is the move towards cleaner, more sustainable building materials in $160M grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that were established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA) has been selected for a $2.2M grant https://lnkd.in/gmTdcSjE under the EPA program, and it will fund the development, creation and technical assistance rollout of up to 77 Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the #EIFS industry as a whole as well as for every American-based EIFS manufacturer. EIMA acknowledges the remarkable life and longstanding service of the 39th President of the United States and wishes everyone a Happy New Year. #governmentservice #doe #jimmycarter #energyeffiency #builtenvironment #eima

It’s interesting to look back and see how the EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA) has progressed over the last year. Building on the momentum described in the article written by Daniel A. Varroney of Potomac Core - Association Consulting (EIMA’s strategic planning partner), the association will ALMOST DOUBLE its resource base with its selection of a $2.2M Federal grant by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). https://lnkd.in/e-gfUFwq With #continuousinsulation integrated into a singular wall system that can mimic #brick, #stone, #wood, #metal, #stucco and #multiplecladdings, there has never been a better time to consider #EIFS for a #newconstruction or #retrofit project. And with what is going on at #EIMA, there has never been a better time for those who have a vested interest in a flourishing EIFS industry to get involved with the association. #momentum #industryefforts #tradeassociation #construction #builtenvironment
