| GlassBuild attendees win discounts during Are You Smarter Than a FenestrationMaster? contest During GlassBuild America, Sept.10-12, the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) hosted an interactive game show that gave attendees the opportunity to win discounts on courses and exams from the association's FenestrationMasters program, a nationwide education and certification program for professionals in the window, door, skylight, curtain wall, storefront and sloped glazing industries. Also, prior to GlassBuild, participants had the chance to test their fenestration knowledge online by answering questions on Twitter and LinkedIn. Playing both at GlassBuild and online gave contestants the opportunity to win up to 50 percent off FenestrationAssociate or FenestrationMaster courses and exams. Troy Hein, senior account manager Central/North Florida of YKK AP America, Inc., was the top winner for the Are You Smarter? contest, receiving a 45 percent discount from his participation both at the game show and online. "Being in the architectural sales field, I am always looking for ways to make not only myself but YKK AP stand above our competitors, " says Hein. "The FenestrationMasters program is a great way for someone in the industry to show that they understand, and are familiar with, the AAMA standards that are published. By having the knowledge that comes along with taking the FenestrationMasters courses, I will have an additional benefit to my customers, architects and peers." Following GlassBuild, Hein signed up for the program and began taking the FenestrationMaster coursework. "They [course modules] are extremely easy to follow, and I have also found that they work quite well on my smart phone, which makes it nice when traveling." AAMA will be hosting another game show during the Supplier Product Display at the AAMA Fall Conference in Baltimore, Mon., Oct. 28. Attendees have the chance to win 25 percent off FenstrationMasters courses and exams. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
