WDMA Announces New Leadership Team

Al Babiuk of Loewen Windows Named Chair

Washington, DC – The Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) is pleased to announce that its new leadership team was installed today at the WDMA Spring Meeting and Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. At the meeting, the WDMA Board of Directors elected Al Babiuk of Loewen Windows as the association’s 2015-2017 chair. Babiuk replaces outgoing Chair Steve Donner of Weiland Sliding Doors and Windows, an Andersen company.

“During the past year WDMA has continued to demonstrate its effectiveness in representing the interests of our window, door and skylight industry members while driving collaboration with various regulatory and policymaking bodies. With a high pace of change continuing in the policy areas of energy conservation, building codes, environmental stewardship, housing and taxation, WDMA will again advocate for an approach that balances these reforms with the competitiveness of its members,” said Babiuk. “In addition, the association will be moving forward under its strategic plan with increased areas of focus and expansion of existing programs, and I look forward to taking a leadership role in this exciting phase for the members of WDMA”.

Al Babiuk is President and Chief Executive Officer for Loewen, a 110-year old manufacturer of windows and doors based in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada.
