Schaumburg, Ill. -- The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) recognized the contributions and achievements of its members and congratulated award winners at the 75th Annual Conference Awards Banquet held in Naples, Fla. Award presenters noted the importance of these member contributions as they serve to further the industry as a whole.

"The 2012 Annual Conference marked AAMA's 75th anniversary as the leading trade association representing both the residential and commercial sectors in the fenestration industry," says Rich Walker, AAMA's president and CEO.

Outstanding Member Award -- Gantt Miller (Winco Manufacturing Co.)

Gantt Miller, CEO of Winco Manufacturing Co. (St. Louis), was named Outstanding Member, as presented by the previous year's award winner, Mike Kinard (Kinro, Inc.).

The Outstanding Member Award is given to an individual who has distinguished themselves in their work and dedication to the advancement of AAMA and the industry as a whole.

Miller has been a part of 50 different committees and task groups during the ten years that he has been active in AAMA and has served as a co-chair on five of these committees. He is the former chair of the AAMA Board of Directors, but continues to serve in numerous other groups and roles involved in guiding the day-to-day operations of AAMA.

In presenting the award, Kinard noted that Miller's career is "as diverse as it is stellar, being a registered AIA [American Institute of Architects] architect and venturing successfully into entrepreneurship as a builder and real estate developer."
