- When possible or applicable, support PMI’s position with City Jurisdiction (conformity assessment issues, product marking issues, etc.)
“We are delighted to have Shahin in this important leadership role,” said Fernando Fernandez, PMI President and Director of Codes and Standards, TOTO USA. “He has been a long-time participant in and advocate of PMI. We look forward to working with him on initiatives to enhance PMI’s value to both allied and manufacturing members.”
