2011 Glass Management Institute

Successful glass industry executives know the value of good training and a network of industry contacts.  The NGA is committed to offering that value through the industry’s leading professional development program: the Glass Management Institute. There is no better training for a successful career in the glazing industry.

GMI’s class of 2011 kicks off in January with training specific to the glazing industry - topics that make or break your day-to-day operations: Bidding and Estimating, Project Management, Sales and Marketing, Financial Management, Legal Issues, and Strategic Planning.  Professionals will receive world-class instruction led by some of the leading experts and brightest minds in the U.S. glass industry.

Here’s what some of our recent graduates have to say about GMI:

• “The NGA’s Glass Management Institute gave me the opportunity to explore the industry’s toughest problems through the eyes of experienced leaders.”    Kristin Miller, Tab Glass and Window
• “GMI helped improve my understanding of the industry sector.  I will recommend others at my company become involved.”    Neil O’Donnell, GTS.
• “As someone young and relatively new to the industry, it is very helpful to have not only have peers but seasoned professionals at my fingertips as a resource as I develop my skills. GMI’s online format is helpful for posing questions, offering insight and providing opportunity for exploration of topics not covered in class.”    Patrick Barlow, Contractor.
