Plumbing Manufacturers International members elected Bob Neff as president of the 2026 PMI Board of Directors during PMI’s 71st Annual Meeting of the Membership yesterday. An enterprise product compliance and regulatory manager for Masco Corporation and Delta Faucet Company, Neff succeeds Belinda Wise, a Neoperl US board of directors member. Wise will remain on the board as immediate past president. The meeting was held during the PMI25 Manufacturing Success Conference in Chicago.
In addition to Neff and Wise, the members of the 2026 board will be board vice president Lowell Lampen, Kohler; board secretary/treasurer Paige Riddle, LSP Products; and at-large directors Troy Benavidez, LIXIL; John Confrey, Falcon Water Technologies; Tim O’Keefe, Symmons Industries; and Kate Olinger, Uponor-GF Building Flow Solutions.
In remarks after his election, Neff said PMI stands at the heart of an industry that quite literally keeps modern life flowing. “Plumbing products manufacturing is not just about fixtures and fittings—it is about safeguarding health, advancing water efficiency, and building the systems that sustain our communities every day,” he stated.
