Paul Irwin Nominated to SMACNA Board of Directors
Bay Area SMACNA is proud to announce Paul Irwin has been nominated to the SMACNA National 2023 Board of Directors! Paul, president of Bell Products, currently serves on the BAS Board of Directors. He joins four other industry professionals looking to join our association’s governing body, including Rick Ferguson, Douglas Gudenburr, Bobby McCally and Gary Myers.
After completing his apprenticeship, Paul started as a residential installer in the industry. Since then, his career has taken him to several other positions, including estimator, chief estimator, project manager and senior project manager. Now a proud third-generation, non-family owner of Bell Products, Paul is honored to continue the legacy of the company’s nearly 80-year history.
Paul has been involved with SMACNA for nearly two decades, having attended more than 15 SMACNA Annual Conventions during that time. He recently served as the chairman of IFUS and the Business Management Committee. He has also held several positions within state and local industry organizations, including serving as the President of Bay Area SMACNA, co-chair of the local Apprenticeship Training Trust and past president of the Redwood chapter of ASHRAE. Within the community, he serves as board president of Ag4Youth, a nonprofit that enriches the lives of at-risk and underserved youth of Napa County through agricultural experiences and education.
“I’m excited to represent not only Bay Area SMACNA members but all association members as a whole,” Paul said of the opportunity to be on the SMACNA Board. “I’m eager to use this opportunity to figure out how to best contribute and give back to the industry that’s been good to me throughout my career.”
Voting is scheduled to take place during the business meeting portion of the Annual Convention in October.
As we wish Paul good luck, we also thank Randy Attaway for his service on the National Board! Randy, Vice President of AGC Inc., is a past president of CAL SMACNA, serves on the Bay Area SMACNA Board of Directors and has made many notable contributions to the sheet metal and HVAC industry during his decades-long career.
