IIBEC Member News – February 2020

SPRI Honors IIBEC Members

Each year, SPRI honors volunteers who have gone above and beyond in devoting their time and talents to the association. The 2020 honoree, Brian Chamberlain of Carlisle Construction Materials, was instrumental in the updating of the SPRI Wind Design Seminar and has taken on a role as presenter of SPRI programming in multiple venues. His technical knowledge and presentation skills are instrumental in his success in this role. Chamberlain has been an IIBEC member for over 15 years, and has taught a number of technical sessions for IIBEC.

Retiring SPRI technical director Mike Ennis, RRC, CDT, was presented with SPRI’s president’s award and an honorary lifetime SPRI membership. With 14 years at SPRI, Ennis became the face of SPRI, known throughout the industry for his technical expertise, fairness, and welcoming nature. Ennis has been a Consultant member of IIBEC for nearly 20 years, and has had his RRC since 2000. He has also taught IIBEC classes, and contributed to IIBEC Interface.

Sharp, of ICP Buildings Solutions Group,  were both named associate directors of SPRI. Mader and Sharp have also been Industry members of IIBEC since 2013.
