NFRC Fall Membership Meeting Begins!

NFRC's 2009 Fall Membership Meeting kicked off bright and early this morning in San Antonio with the NFRC New Member Orientation.

First-time attendees, new members and others heard about the NFRC’s programs and processes.

“If I have one piece of advice for first-timers, it’s don’t be shy,” said Joe Hayden, chair of the NFRC Board of Directors. “Speak your mind, say your piece, and ask your questions.”

The meeting continues with concurrent tracks of task group sessions. One track features eight task groups that report to the Attachments Subcommitttee, while the second track comprises the Door Task Group and the Garage/Rolling Door U-factor Task Group. Those sessions will be followed by four other task group meetings, also split into two tracks.

Check back with NFRC News Now regularly for reports on key developments during the meeting and more news.
