By Art Aisner, Editor-in-Chief

Helene Hardy Pierce, vice president of technical services, codes and industry relations at GAF was recently named the William C. Cullen Award winner by the ASTM International's roofing and waterproofing committee.

An ASTM International member since 1984, Pierce was honored for her distinguished contributions and personal commitment to the committee and to the North American roofing community through her dedication and leadership in the industry. In her time as a member of ASTM International she also received the Award of Merit (1998) and the Award of Appreciation (2017).

Pierce has served as the vice president of technical services, codes, and industry relations for GAF since 2007, having previously held multiple positions with GAF and TAMKO Building Products.

In addition to ASTM International, Pierce is a member of the Roof Consultants Institute, the Construction Specifications Institute, and the Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues.

Hardy Pierce also received the 72nd Annual J.A. Piper Award earlier this year at the International Roofing Expo.

She was the first woman to earn the award, regarded as the roofing industry’s most prestigious honor bestowed by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) to roofing professionals who have devoted constant, outstanding service to the association and roofing industry.
