EIMA Records Major Accomplishment on Occasion of 20th Anniversary
Appropriately timed for the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the EIFS Industry Members Association was presented an unexpected but welcome gift during its annual meeting at the Wyndham Resort & Spa in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., on Feb. 7-9. On the first day of the meeting, just as its technical committee was reporting on standards development through the American National Standards Institute, association staff received word that ANSI’s Board of Standards Review had approved EIMA 99-A as a new national consensus standard for EIFS.
“It really is a great first step toward being included in the building codes,” said outgoing association president Peter Balint, of Dryvit Systems Inc. “I think everybody on the technical committee and EIMA board needs to be recognized for this accomplishment.”
