About Committee Days
Committee Days is a member-only meeting that focuses on the activities of NIA’s active committees. It is one of NIA’s two annual meetings that allow committees to report on business, actions items, and current NIA activities. The success of these committees rests solely on the participation of NIA members, who represent different parts of the insulation industry. When NIA members come together, share ideas, discuss industry trends, and express concerns and problems, the industry as a whole benefits.
NIA’s Committee Days meeting is one of many NIA member benefits. If you have not attended Committee Days or are not involved in one of NIA’s operating committees, NIA encourages you to enjoy this opportunity to meet with fellow industry professionals and share your expertise and suggestions on how to further our industry.
What to Expect
NIA’s Committee Days meeting attracts approximately 100 members each year, primarily contractor members. With more than 10 operating committees meeting, attendees can expect to learn about industry trends; receive updates on programs covering the latest business topics; and, of course, gain a better understanding of how NIA is helping to educate the industry on the benefits of insulation.
November temperatures for the Washington, D.C., area are typically in the mid-60s during the day, dropping to the mid-50s at night. Weather conditions vary, so it is best to check the weather report for the area before you leave.
Featured Luncheon Presentation
Be one of the first to get a sneak peek at the NIA-designed online Mechanical Insulation Design Guide (MIDG). This guide will be housed on the Whole Building Design Guide website (www.wbdg.org), which is a project of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS).
This high-priority project has been a focus of the Foundation for the past 2 years. The special luncheon presentation on Wednesday, November 7, will walk you through the guide and how it will be used.
Expect to learn, take advantage of networking opportunities with your peers, become more informed about the industry, and see why NIA is and always will be the voice of the commercial and industrial insulation industry.
Health and Safety Roundtable Back by Popular Demand
The first-ever Health and Safety Roundtable was held at the 2006 Committee Days. More than half of those who attended the event answered a survey assessing their experience. Each attendee responded that they would recommend the Safety Roundtable to their colleagues, and that they planned to attend the next roundtable. Because the Safety Roundtable was received so positively, the committee decided it would become an annual event. This year’s roundtable will be held November 8, 2007, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The cost to attend the Health and Safety Roundtable is $120. Individuals who register for both the Health and Safety Roundtable and the 2007 Committee Days meeting will receive a $25 discount off of the combined registration rates. Discounts will be taken at the time of registration for the Health and Safety Roundtable. Committee Days registrations must accompany or be received prior to the Health and Safety Roundtable registration in order to qualify for the discount.
