Pollard Employee Recognized with Award
March 10, 2009

Scott Schlager, regional factory representative for Pollard Windows Inc., was awarded "Certified Graduate Associate of the Year" by the National Association of Home Builders at the recent International Builders' Show.

"Scott has always been an advocate for choice in housing, economic growth and quality of life in our community," says Joe McIvor, executive vice president of the Buffalo Niagara Builders Association. "It's always great to see when the national spotlight shines positively on one of our local members, which ultimately reflects well on Western New York and our industry."

Only one Certified Graduate Associate member is awarded each year, which honors outstanding leadership and achievement in the building industry. A Certified Graduate Associate is a professional designation offered by the National Association of Home Builders for its members who support the building industry through product manufacturing, supply, distribution of products and services. This designation is earned by taking various courses offered by state and local home builders' associations and at national building events. Schlager is an active member of the Buffalo Niagara Builders Association (BNBA) and has served on their board of directors. He currently serves as associate vice president of the New York State Builders Association (NYSBA). Both organizations are affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

In addition to the CGA of the Year award, Schlager also was awarded NAHB's Certified Green Professional (CGP)™ designation. The CGP is an exclusive designation offered by the NAHB to teach professionals strategies for incorporating green building principles into home using cost-effective options.
