Emerson has announced that the Valve Manufacturers Association of America (VMA) has elected Andy Duffy as chairperson of its board of directors for 2023-24. In his new role, Duffy will help ensure the organization provides the most value to its members and advances the valve industry at large.
Duffy, vice president of sales at Emerson’s discrete automation business, has served on the VMA board for four years, most recently as the association’s 2022-23 vice chair and treasurer. As a member, he has helped the board create a strong strategic vision and advocate for issues such as regulations. Through its government affairs program, the association created critical position papers on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) regulations that were presented to government offices over joint visits to Washington, D.C.
