“GSA’s board of directors reflects the makeup of its membership – a collection of companies who represent the many disciplines of our diverse and vibrant industry,” said GSA’s president Peter DeRaedt in a statement.

“GSA creates standards for the entire industry, it is important that our membership and board reflect that,” he added.
