TLMI selects new association president

Tibbetts joins TLMI from the Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC) where he was the executive director for six years. During his tenure he led a major restructuring of the association, successfully transforming the TRC into a nationally recognized brand within the HVAC industry. Prior to joining TRC, Tibbetts was the manager of business development with the American Public Works Association. He brings to his new role with TLMI extensive experience in both non-profit and government program management.

'I feel privileged and honored to follow the footsteps of Frank Sablone and lead this exceptional organization,' said Tibbetts. 'I look forward to the opportunity to work with its members and guide TLMI to achieve even greater relevance, member value and industry service.’

TLMI chairman Dan Muenzer added: 'Mark’s strong background in association management coupled with his extreme professionalism and impressive business acumen made him stand out as an exceptional match for TLMI. Thanks to the dedication of current president Frank Sablone, TLMI is stronger than it has ever been and I am confident that Mark will be able to help the association reach new heights in an industry that is constantly changing, and in a marketplace that becomes more globalized every day.’

Tibbetts will replace current TLMI president Frank Sablone, who is stepping down from his day-to-day duties as of January 1, 2016 but will remain in an advisory role until the end of 2016. 'I would like to personally welcome Mark to the TLMI family. Much has been accomplished over the last 17 years and the association’s success is a direct result of the hard work of its volunteer members who serve on the board, the meeting program chairs, the membership at large and most of all the volunteers who serve on and chair TLMI committees.

'l am confident that the association’s success will continue with Mark at the helm and I know our members will offer him the same unwavering support they have given me all these years,' concluded Sablone.
