NIA's Long Range Planning Committee & Strategic Objectives<\/h3>\n

NIA is a not-for-profit organization representing all facets of the commercial, industrial, and mechanical insulation industry. It is led and funded by its members and operates through a committee structure. These committees and various task forces review and assess issues and recommend actions to NIA\u2019s Board of Directors. Approved actions are then carried out by NIA\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

Every 3 years during NIA\u2019s July Board of Directors Meeting, the Long-Range Planning (LRP) Committee decides on the priorities for the coming years. The committee develops two to four Strategic Objectives\u00a0 that guide the association to remain financially healthy, provide benefits and value to its member base, and address industry challenges. Each SO will have action items, timelines, potential costs, and suggested leaders and teams to carry them out. The list of proposed SOs will be presented to the Board for approval. The Long Range Strategic Planning Committee is made up of volunteers from the NIA Board and members of the NIA staff.<\/p>\n

The most recent meeting took place in July 2024, and the LRP Committee developed 3 Strategic Objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carbon\/Emission Reduction: Elevate the Decarbonization Benefits of Mechanical Insulation<\/li>\n
  2. Partnerships: Develop Strategic Relationships with Stakeholders That Align with and Support NIA's Mission and Core Values<\/li>\n
  3. Education: Utilize Education to Elevate the Professionalism of the Industry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are a member of NIA and would like to volunteer to be a part of accomplishing these objectives, or to find out more about how to get involved, email niainfo@insulation.org<\/a>. In addition, a new NIA Mission Statement was adopted. View it here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    1. National Mechanical Insulation Standards<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Objective:<\/strong> Develop National Standards for use by the industry.<\/p>\n

    Results<\/strong>: A process was defined, presentations for members were held to obtain buy- in, and a partnership agreement with the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) was secured, thereby giving the future of the standards a broader reach and instant credibility. Once the AMPP\/NIA partnership was signed, work began to develop the first two standards which now have been submitted: (1) Installations Procedures\u2014Flashing Sealant of Protrusions in MI Systems and (2) Installations Procedures\u2014Insulation Joint Sealant for Rigid MI Systems.<\/p>\n

    2. NIA\u2019s Value Proposition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Objective: <\/strong>To define the Value Proposition for each member type.<\/p>\n

    Results<\/strong>: Conducted a survey of NIA\u2019s small contractor members to determine how they utilize NIA member benefits, what their needs are, and gauge participation interest in annual events and training, created a video demonstrating the value of connections made through NIA membership, and developed an ROI infographic on the benefit of Associate member participation at NIA events.<\/p>\n

    3. ESG\/Decarbonization<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Objective:<\/strong> To develop an external and internal message conveying the value of mechanical insulation (MI) in achieving reduction goals.<\/p>\n

    Results<\/strong>: Released and promoted the Energy & Emissions Reduction Study<\/em>. Developed an ESG Glossary to assist with understanding, created a prominent web page for ESG tools, crafted over 40 internal\/external articles, presented at events and online on various media platforms, added ESG\/carbon reduction training within existing course materials, and generated several networking events\/touch points with key industry representatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
