As the new Chairman of ASA's Industrial Piping Division, Gary also serves to represent the Division on the ASA Board of Directors. According to Gary, McJunkin has been involved for a number of years and in various capacities with ASA. “We've done this because we believe it's important to have an organization that's committed to improving our industry buy offering products and services that offer benefits to all members. In addition, the exchange of ideas and information we gain by being a member of ASA is very valuable. I'm privileged to serve as the current leader of the Industrial Piping Division and I'm anxious to add to the success and value of our members and the industries we serve.”
