North American Technician Excellence (NATE) received some new blood at the top this year in the form of new COO John Lanier. Though he’s only been on the job for about six months, Lanier has set a vision for NATE that earned him NEWSmaker recognition.
His peers are not shy in acknowledging that Lanier has been a quick study since coming on board.
“John’s business experience allowed him to very quickly understand the operations of NATE and the influence it has on the HVACR industry,” said immediate past NATE board chairman and HVACR Workforce Development Foundation executive director Donald Frendberg. “His assessment of the organization and his many industry relationships has led to an excellent redirection of several strategic objectives. In my opinion, John is the right person at the right time for NATE and I foresee only continued success for the organization.”
