Three new board members joined the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) Board of Directors during the 2024 Fall Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. FGIA welcomes Scott Corley (ODL), Chris Giovannielli (Kawneer Company) and Stacha Reed (Andersen Corporation) to the Board.
Scott Corley, Glass Products Council (GPC) Director
Corley has been in product development for over 30 years and has been launching new products at ODL for 15 of those years. He joined the Association in 2019 and has served on various committees and chaired or co-chaired many work groups. He is currently a member of several GPC committees as well as an alternate on the FGIA Code Action Steering Committee. He also serves on the board of directors of the Insulating Glass Certification Council (IGCC).
Chris Giovannielli, Architectural Products Council (APC) Director
Giovannielli is the Director of Global Product Management at Kawneer, where he has been a leading contributor for more than 25 years. He directs product development, positioning and launch strategies across global markets with an emphasis on education and sustainability practices. In addition to the Board, he serves as the APC Representative for the AAMA Certification Policy Committee and has been actively engaged in the Association for several years.
Stacha Reed, Residential Products Council (RPC) Director
Reed has been an engineer for 24 years and has worked in multiple technical and operations leadership roles. She joined the Association in 2014 and has since been active across all material councils. She has served as the Wood and Cellulosic Composites Material Council (WCCMC) Finishes Committee Vice Chair for nearly 10 years and has served as a voting member of the AAMA Finishes Committee, eventually advancing to the RPC Co-Chair position several years ago.
Changes to FGIA bylaws
FGIA added an At Large Director position to create more flexibility in allowing Board participation by member types, such as test labs and service providers, while keeping the APC, GPC and RPC Director positions more focused on representation by those producing finished products or components specific to those Councils.
The FGIA Board of Directors is made up of Officers and Directors (APC, GPC, RPC), as well as Ex Officio Board Members.
