The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association announced today that Dwight “Ike” Casey will be leaving the position of executive vice president, effective Feb. 1, 2010, to pursue other opportunities.

“We appreciate Ike’s service and his contributions to the organization’s success throughout his nine-year tenure, especially the excellent PHCC national convention conducted in New Orleans last fall,” said PHCC President Skip Pfeffer. “A search committee has already begun work to identify the next individual who will help lead our great association to even greater success in serving the needs of the plumbing-heating-cooling contractors and industry partners we represent.”

Gerry Kennedy will be serving as interim executive vice president during the search process. For the last 12 years, Kennedy has served as PHCC vice president of education and chief operating officer of the PHCC Educational Foundation.
