PMI searches for new executive director

ROLLING MEADOWS - The board of directors for Plumbing Manufacturers International has hired Kittleman & Associates, LLC, a Chicago-based national search firm focused exclusively on CEO search in the nonprofit sector, to search for the association's new executive director.

Current CEO/executive director Barbara C. Higgens continues to lead PMI until the transition to the new leader is completed.

Paul Patton, PMI immediate past board president and head of the PMI board's search committee for the new CEO/executive director, said the board is confident that Kittleman & Associates will find the right individual with the experience and skills to lead PMI into the future.

"In the meantime, it's business as usual for PMI. We will ensure the transition is smooth and transparent," Patton said. "We have achieved a lot over the past years as an organization, and we have great momentum to keep moving forward - an active board of directors and engaged member company CEOs, outstanding committee chairs and the willingness of association participants to step up to industry leadership roles, with member value ever increasing."
