Neiswanger named GANA technical services coordinator

Sara Neiswanger has been named the Glass Association of North America’s technical services coordinator, a new position within the association, according to a Nov. 20 release. She joined Association Services Corporation, GANA's management company, in 2006 as an executive assistant for ASC and its clients and became an account executive in 2007. She also serves as the account executive for the Protective Glazing Council International, the Glazing Industry Code Committee, and the Glazing Industry Secretariat Committee.

“Sara's new role within GANA positions the association to provide an even better menu of technical services,” said Bill Yanek, GANA’s executive vice president, in the release. “All technical queries, as well as requests for the newly formed GANA: Advocacy initiatives, will be directed to Sara. She will work closely with Urmilla Sowell, GANA's technical director, and all of GANA's consultants to coordinate a response and any required action from the association.”

"On a day to day basis, GANA receives a large number of technical queries from around the world," said Sowell, in the release. "Sara's coordination will provide a more efficient and responsive system, enabling the association to better serve its members and the industry."

Neiswanger earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing and management from Washburn University in May 2006, and will soon begin a Master of Science in Marketing Communications. Professionally, she is a member of the American Society of Association Executives.

"GANA's technical services are the best in the industry," said Neiswanger. "I look forward to working with Urmilla and others within the association to make our technical services more responsive and beneficial."
