CFSEI Names New Manager Of Its Programs
The Steel Framing Alliance (SFA) announced today that the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI), the technical arm of the SFA, has hired Brian Berger as its new full-time manager. Last year, CFSEI’s Board of Directors developed an ambitious agenda with eight key strategies to guide program priorities. In addition to focusing much of his time on implementing these strategic objectives, Mr. Berger is also dedicated to enhancing CFSEI’s programs. This includes managing the development and publishing of Technical Notes, something he has been working on since June after being named interim CFSEI manager.

“CFSEI has a re-tooled strategy and committed volunteers working to get more technical information into the hands of engineers,” said Larry Williams, Steel Framing Alliance President. “Brian is going to be a valuable resource for the organization and he is already making an impact.”

With 10 years experience in association management, marketing and public affairs, Brian has worked for associations in the adhesives manufacturing and retail industries. As a marketing and public relations consultant, he has also represented a wide range of clients - from affordable housing developers to political candidates.

Brian earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., and is currently working toward an MBA at East Carolina University. In his spare time, he has served as a volunteer firefighter and worked with Special Olympics. Currently a resident of Wilmington, N.C., Brian can be contacted at (910) 431-3115 or bberger@CFSEI.org.
