The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) recently named Dan Snyder as its new vice president of the construction program. Snyder has been a part of the program for 25 years, most recently serving as AISI’s senior director of business development.
In his time at AISI, Snyder has played an integral role in several successful outreach initiatives. He was part of the team that launched the Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance (SSSBA) in 2007, and he spearheaded the BuildSteel marketing initiative to raise industry awareness of the benefits of cold-formed steel framing. Snyder also guided the creation of AISI’s implementation directives for metal roofing, metal wall panels, and steel utility poles.
“During his AISI career, Dan Snyder has utilized his many years of expertise in steel construction to successfully launch and grow several of our construction initiatives. With his focus on innovation and market growth, we look forward to the continued success and dynamism of the AISI construction program,” said AISI President and CEO Kevin Dempsey.
Snyder succeeds Robert J. Wills, PE, who retired in May after nearly 33 years at AISI.
“We thank Robert Wills for his many contributions to our industry,” said Dempsey. “He has left a strong legacy and impact on the steel construction market, and we wish him all the best in retirement.”
