What you love about glass:
I work with glass in entry doors, and I love the versatility it provides, allowing homeowners to express themselves. That front entry door is how we welcome friends and family to our homes. With so many types of glass, there is an option for everyone. If maximum light is preferred with no privacy concerns, there are clear glass options or glass with internal grids for added detail. If the homeowner prefers higher privacy or light control, there are plenty of textured and colored glass options. Glass in a beautiful design creates a personal expression, making the front door pop and delivering a statement.

What you love about working with people in the industry:
I have a cross-functional team of passionate people who participate in the development of our stylized glass. They serve as a sounding board for our up-and-coming designs. Because they come from different functional areas of our company, everyone has a unique perspective to offer, taking our glass products to the next level. We all agree these development meetings are our favorite meetings of the week. They love the opportunity to be a part of the creative process and deliver product that builders and homeowners are excited to use.

What is something that people will be surprised to learn about you?:
I love puzzles. I enjoy the challenge of putting pieces together to make a finished product. Puzzles keep my mind active, and the benefits carry over into my work life, helping me recognize the individual components of a problem and piece together a beautiful and functional solution.

What advice would you give a woman just entering the industry?:
Embrace and master the nuances and technical aspects of the industry. There is a science to glass – how it is manufactured, the types of coatings that change its performance, the regulations and standards to follow, and how glass is insulated and installed. Get inspired by visiting a float plant to see the process. It is an amazing learning experience for someone looking to enter the industry.

Five years ago, on Feb. 1, 2018, the Glass Association of North America (GANA) combined with the National Glass Association in order to harness the resources each association provided into one organization. This combined association has delivered on its promises to the industry with expanded education and training programs, advocacy efforts, technical publications, two magazines and a robust schedule of conferences and events, while reducing member costs and effort. Pictured is NGA President & CEO, Nicole Harris, presenting new association leaders after the NGA-GANA combination in 2018.

The NGA-GANA combination facilitated more events for the industry to educate, idea-share and network, and further strengthened NGA's industry advocacy and resources, including its education and training programs, technical publications and industry magazines—Glass Magazine and Window + Door.
