In an effort to take North American Technician Excellence (NATE) to a higher level, Don Frendberg, NATE chairman, announced a restructuring of NATE personnel and an Administrative Services Agreement with the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).
Under the new structure, Frendberg will now be directly involved in the promotion and leadership of NATE, and Peter Schwartz, NATE president, will focus on strengthening NATE’s relations with governmental and nongovernmental organizations. To temporarily fulfill the duties of Pat Murphy, who announced his resignation as vice president of certification, Warren Lupson, AHRI’s director of education, will serve as director of certification and will handle the technical and certification administration needs of NATE.
