Drew has served on the AHRI Board of Directors since 2008 and joined the Executive Committee in 2010. He has also held the positions of treasurer and vice chairman.
As chairman, Drew expects to continue to support several AHRI initiatives, many of which seek to find the proper balance and dialog between industry and the government agencies that regulate many of the products manufactured by AHRI members.
