SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — The passing of the gavel between the outgoing Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) Chair of the Board, Rob Grommesh of Cardinal Glass Industries, and the incoming Chair, Mike Turner of YKK AP, took place during the 2026 Annual Conference in Huntington Beach, California.

“My two years as Board Chair are coming to a close,” said Grommesh before passing the gavel to Turner. “The board is a thoughtful, wonderful group working on your behalf. It has been my honor.”

After Turner was sworn in by FGIA Executive Director Janice Yglesias, he offered some remarks to begin his new term as chair.

“I am deeply honored to serve in this position,” said Turner. “As FGIA has evolved, one thing has remained constant: the quality of the individuals who make up this Association. It is your dedication at every level that defines us and I am so proud to serve alongside you. I thank Rob for his leadership over the past two years as he has guided our discussions with a steady and fair hand, always making sure voices were heard.”

With this transition, Kevin Seiling, VEKA, serves as vice chair of the board, and Aaron Ryan, Pella Corporation, fills his vacancy as a newly elected Residential Products Council (RPC) Representative. In addition, Ray Garries, MITER Brands, is now treasurer.
