NFRC Board
Election DETAILS
The
NFRC's Board of Directors helps assure that NFRC continues to
follow its goal of providing fair and accurate energy performance
ratings for fenestration products. It is the Board that assures
that ratings published by NFRC actually assist our stakeholders
(building code officials, state energy offices, architects, specifiers,
builders and the consuming public) in selecting, specifying or
evaluating fenestration systems in terms of energy efficiency.
There
are three general categories that make up the Board of Directors;
the fenestration industry interests (5 seats); the lab interest
(1 seat) and the general interest (6 seats). It should be remembered
that NFRC is a 501(c )(3) organization; a charitable research
and education association; not a trade or industry association.
The Board of Directors is weighted towards the general interest
to assure that we continue to work towards the public interest
and the goals described above.
For
detailed descriptions/definitions of the the specific seats as
outlined above please download a copy of the NFRC's "description
of election process" developed to detail the process.
