Atlas' Tina Cannedy becomes the first female president of the Texas Lathing and Plastering Contractors.
The Texas Lathing and Plastering Contractors Association has elected Tina Cannedy, director of business development – architecture for Atlas Roof and Wall Insulation, as its next president, making her the first woman to lead the association in its history.
Cannedy was elected June 9 during the TLPCA Annual Convention in Marble Falls, Texas, where Walls & Ceilings was in attendance to witness the announcement and the industry's recognition of this historic leadership milestone. She will serve a one-year term.
A longtime advocate for the wall and ceiling industry, Cannedy has spent more than 25 years helping architects, contractors and building owners develop high-performance exterior wall systems focused on energy efficiency, durability and code compliance. Her expertise spans EIFS, stucco, continuous insulation assemblies, polyiso insulation, air- and water-barrier systems, product development, AIA education, and system testing and approvals.
"Tina's leadership has long been a credit to the industry, and now TLPCA will experience her commitment, her dedication to raising industry standards, and her drive," said Tom Robertson, business unit manager – wall insulation at Atlas RWI. "We've seen Tina's ability to build strong partnerships with our customers at Atlas, and we encourage our leaders to take their experience out into the world and advance the industry. Our heartfelt congratulations to Tina on this milestone!"
Cannedy said she hopes her election reflects the changing face of the construction industry while continuing the association's longstanding priorities.
"As the number of women in construction continues to grow, I'm hopeful this marks a step toward stronger representation across our industry," Cannedy said. "The TLPCA has been a big part of my career and my life for more than 25 years, and my primary focus is to continue advancing the board's strong efforts in workforce development. This is a real honor, and I'm ready to get to work."
A graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Materials Science Engineering, Cannedy also serves as Vice Chair of ASTM E06.58 and maintains certifications as a CSI Construction Documents Technologist and an AWCI EIFS Inspector.
Her election marks a significant milestone for TLPCA while underscoring the growing role women continue to play in shaping the future of the wall and ceiling, plastering and exterior envelope industries.
