Industry leaders from National Glass Association (NGA) member companies, Congressional members and agency officials convened in Washington, DC, USA, March 27 to 28 for the association’s second annual Glass & Glazing Advocacy Days.
NGA architectural glass and glazing industry policy priorities presented at the 2023 event include: School Security, Bird-friendly Glazing, High-performance Glazing, Recyclability/Sustainability, and Workforce Development.
In her opening remarks, NGA President & CEO Nicole Harris stated, “Everyone in this room knows the value of glass and glazing to enhance spaces where we live, play, learn, work and heal…and we are here to help our legislators understand that value.”
Leaders from 35 NGA member companies representing primary glass manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers, and installing companies from across the country were invited to advocate on behalf of their businesses, the NGA, and the industry.
“We had an amazing day on the Hill,” stated Harris. “We had 30 meetings in Congressional offices allowing us to spread NGA’s message about the solutions our industry provides.”
