The three-day conference, held Jan. 13-15, included meetings the NGA’s Advocacy and Fabricating Committees, which made progress on many of their current projects and resources under development. The Installing Committee will gather next month at the BEC Conference in Nashville. 

In addition to committee work, some conference attendees were challenged by a game of golf at Torrey Pines golf course and participated in the 5th Annual Fun Run/Walk. The Annual Conference also featured a welcome reception as well as its Volunteer Celebration Dinner. The Volunteer Celebration Dinner is the association’s opportunity to recognize all who offer their time and expertise to the betterment of the industry through participation in NGA committees and task groups. In addition to recognizing the top performers from the golf scramble at Torrey Pines, the NGA presented two awards: 

  • Volunteer of the Year 2020: Sylvain Denis, Walker Glass Co.
