The Valve Manufacturers Association of America (VMA) membership elected the 2022-2023 Board of Directors, following the announcement of the slate of candidates at its annual meeting, which took place in September. VMA’s Chairman of the Board for the 2022-2023 year is Matt Thiel, president of AUMA Actuators.
“The industrial valve industry is facing new challenges, and Ron Warren’s leadership over the last year has positioned VMA to be ready to tackle tomorrow’s issues as we implement the 3-year strategic plan that was approved last year.” Thiel said. “It’s an honor to continue what Ron and the other chairs who have served before me have started while adding my own legacy to the VMA. I look forward to serving as chair as our industry transitions from pandemic recovery to taking on new challenges such as energy transition and sustainability, workforce development, supply chain delays and material shortages, and any other issues that may come up during my tenure.”
