PGC International Unveils Industry Speaker's Bureau
The Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International has unveiled a new feature on its website aimed at providing a central location for visitors interested in hosting a presentation or speaker from the protective glazing industry.  The PGC International Speaker's Bureau features industry experts who can provide a non-commercial presentation on a wide variety of industry issues, technologies and solutions.

"The focus of the Bureau is to provide educational opportunities to those who need them most," explained Brian Pitman, Director of Marketing and Communications for PGC International.  "We aren't looking to add 'buy my product' presentations to this list.  Our goal is for the Bureau to offer education that allows the designer and building owner to make the proper decisions on applications and solutions for their projects."

Initial work on the project began before PGC International's Spring Meeting earlier this year in Orlando.  The Resources Committee brainstormed ways to better address the needs of the architectural community and government agencies, and the Bureau was among the ideas strongly supported by the Committee.

"The Speaker's Bureau is the answer to many inquiries for information or speakers we receive each year," explained Sara Neiswanger, Account Executive for the organization.  "Many institutions, architectural firms, educational seminars and such are always looking for a speaker from the industry who can provide education and act as an ambassador for PGC International."

The website, available at www.protectiveglazing.org/bureau, is also looking to add more speakers across a broad range of presentation topics.  To add yourself or others from your company or organization, please contact Neiswanger via phone at (785) 271-0208, or via email at sara@protectiveglazing.org.
