EIMA Honors Jimmy Carter

The EIFS Industry Members Association honors the longstanding service and efforts of late President Jimmy Carter — especially with respect to energy policy.

“Not only did President Carter advocate for the use of clean coal and safeguarded atomic energy in the aftermath of the energy crisis, but his administration — along with the U.S. Congress — established the U.S. Department of Energy as we know it today,” said EIMA executive director Stephen Sears. “Interestingly, much of the vision of this energy policy, articulated almost 50 years ago, is being actualized right now. One example of this is the move towards cleaner, more sustainable building materials in $160 million in grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that were established by the Inflation Reduction Act.”
