PILC strategizes to tackle industry issues

摘要

This month, 14 plumbing industry trade associations will convene for the third time in Washington, D.C., as part of the Plumbing Industry Leadership Coalition (PILC). Addressing aging infrastructure, maximizing water efficiency, and exploring workforce best practices will be among several topics to be discussed during this annual meeting at the headquarters of the National Institute of Building Sciences. Each of the 14 organizations will be represented by the top volunteer and top staff person. They have submitted topic ideas to discuss. PILC was founded in 2011 by Barbara C Higgens, CEO/Executive Director of Plumbing Manufacturing International (PMI); Jim Kendzel of American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) and Russ Chaney of International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) to facilitate high level strategic discussions among membership-based organizations, on issues impacting the plumbing community.
