IAPMO Honors CEO for 25 Years of Dynamic Leadership

In early December, IAPMO presented their outgoing CEO, Russ Chaney, with a One Of A Kind retirement gift to commemorate his 25 years of leadership advancing the plumbing industry worldwide. Though a masked retirement event with a virtual audience, the presentation was still a great success!

The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officers, or IAPMO, is a leader in codes and standards development related to plumbing, mechanical, swimming pool, and solar energy. To represent the industrial aspect of the plumbing profession, included in the art are various size pipes, PVC, and aluminum. Other 3D items include a plumber’s wrench, faucet handle, pipe clamp, shut off valve, film strip, and miniature American Airlines plane.
