O'Hare, who joined New York Blower in April 1989 and has held the titles of product specialist, regional sales manager, national sales manager, and director of marketing, in addition to vice president of sales and marketing, has been an active member of AMCA International for 11 years, during which he has participated on the Sales and Marketing Executive Steering Committee, the Marketing Committee, the Industrial Power & Process Group, and the FEG Marketing Task Force.

We have a great team in place that will readily meet the challenges and opportunities presented to us by U.S. Department of Energy regulation and its impact on the AMCA Certified Ratings Program, and this team will continue the ongoing commitment to AMCA's growth in all regions.
