NEWS | WINDOWS 01 2017 AWA INDUSTRY FORUMS A total of eight industry forums and networking lunches are being run for AWA members this year. At the time of publication, we are halfway through our series with four of these events completed with great success. Significant and important information has been shared with the membership, particularly regarding the upcoming changes to energy efficiency requirements and compliance. Each forum features a local industry update from the HIA presenting on housing starts, industry forecasts and local factors influencing the state economy. 02 The lunches following the business presentations have given members the opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of industry colleagues. If you have missed your local forum, the presentations can be viewed in the Members Resources section of the AWA website.
