GLENVIEW, Ill. — The
Midwest Roofing Contractors
Association (MRCA) has moved its headquarters to Association Management Center
(AMC) in Glenview, Ill., for full-service management.
MRCA’s move to AMC was decided by the board of directors in
July 2009 as the result of a rigorous evaluation process that was designed to
explore the various options available in managing the day-to-day operations and
affairs of MRCA.
“Our primary consideration in selecting a new association
management firm was to look ahead to our future, and evaluate which firm could
best help us meet our primary strategic objectives,” said Ronnie McGlothin,
MRCA President. “We think AMC, with its dynamic staff of more than 190 professionals,
is best positioned to help us meet the future goals we’ve set for MRCA.”
Tom Drake will serve as the Executive Director of MRCA.
Drake has more than 15 years of executive level experience in association
management.
“MRCA’s new team sees many opportunities to help our members
and the industry,” Drake said. “Along with our growing our national and
regional conferences, we will increase the use of technology to add value to
the MRCA membership.”
Other members of the management team include Lindsey
Lozmack, Manager of Operations; Daniel Weinstock, Manager of Education; Peggy
Doherty, Manager of Membership Services; Kay Granath, Manager of Meetings and
Conventions; and Chris Schroll, Sales Manager. For more information, visit
