LAS VEGAS - John Unger, president of U.S. Sheet Metal Inc.,
received the Contractor of the Year award at the Sheet Metal and Air
Conditioning Contractors’ National Association’s (SMACNA’s) 64th
annual convention. The award is presented annually in memory ofSNIPSfounder Ed Carter and his son Nick Carter, magazine
publisher and editor.
“John is an example of a contractor who characterizes the word
‘volunteer,’” SMACNA President Dick Cramer said. “A devoted member of the NJAB
and Labor Committee, he has never turned SMACNA down for any task that we have
asked.”
“John has served as an SFUA Article X Management Panelist for
more than 25 years and selflessly has accepted some tough assignments to
arbitrate cases no one else would take,” Cramer noted. “In addition, he stepped
up to the plate to serve as a SASMI trustee when no one else was interested.”
Unger, his long-term business partner Bruce Stockwell, who served
as president of national SMACNA in 1992-1993, and their firm U.S. Sheet
Metal Inc., will celebrate 40 years in the sheet metal business and as members
of SMACNA on Feb. 1, 2008.
Unger’s service to SMACNA includes membership on the Budget and
Finance Committee and Multi-Service Chapter Application and Selection
Committee, plus chair and vice chair of the Council of Chapter
Representatives. From 1992 to 1999, he was a SMACN-IFUS Trustee, serving
as secretary-treasurer in 1993 to 1994 and chair from 1994 to 1996.
