The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) recognized the contributions and achievements of its members and congratulated winners at the Annual Awards Ceremony and Reception at the end of the second day of the 2026 FGIA Annual Conference in Huntington Beach, California. The Residential Products Council Distinguished Service Award was presented to David McDonald, senior regulatory affairs specialist at Marvin, by Aaron Ryan, engineering program manager at Pella Corporation, and first VP of the Residential Products Council.
Each year, a member who excels in work toward improving the Association and the Residential Products Council is recognized with this distinction.
“David has been a long-standing member of FGIA,” says Ryan. “He has always been willing to take on any task group or leadership role that is thrown at him. He faithfully attends code hearings in person, and this has been a great help to FGIA in developing quick responses to floor modifications.”
McDonald serves as Chair of the International Residential Council Task Group, along with two other groups. He is also an Ex-Officio member of the Western Region Board, having just completed a two-year term serving as the region’s Board Chair.
