What’s New: VCNMember.com, CAM Team Growth and Digital Tools
Dear Vitro Certified™ Network Member,
As we wrap up the first quarter of a new year, multiple teams across Vitro have already hit the ground running to introduce new online tools, web services and personnel that will take the power of our partnerships to the next level.
We’re excited to share that the all-new VCNmember.com is now live. Featuring an updated design that complements other Vitro websites, the new site is a robust home base for Vitro Certified™ Network members that offers interactive and downloadable content such as educational resources, product selection tools, audit materials, quote templates and more. All Vitro Certified™ members should have received an email with instructions on how to access the site and establish a new login and password. If you haven’t received an email and would like access, please contact Patty Fisher at pfisher@vitro.com.
Once you’ve had a chance to explore the site on your own, I encourage you to take a look at our newest digital tool, Spec Select. This new resource allows users to compare the performance and aesthetic details of Vitro Architectural Glass products with those of similar manufacturers across the industry, which gives fabricators the ability to recommend a Vitro product that offers similar – or even superior – performance.
In addition to our new Vitro Certified™ Network website, we’ve welcomed several new commercial architectural managers (CAMs) to the Vitro team in the past few months, including Shawn Winn, Ryan Berrios,Nick Tanos and Will Elman – with more announcements coming soon.
Lastly, this month Vitro celebrated Women’s History Month with a social media campaign on LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram that introduced our followers to five women of Vitro who are advancing the glass industry with their unique perspectives. This year’s featured team members were Patty Brennan, benefits manager; Mary Schlusser, human resources manager; Michelle Yang, data scientist; Heather Brion, director, architectural development; and Madeline Harris, senior manager, sales support.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue of our enewsletter, which answers some of your most pressing questions about the color rendering index (CRI). Also included is a feature about the Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides a seamless, immersive visitor experience thanks to Solarban® 70 glass, and a get-to-know story featuring Heather Brion, who leads the way in tackling complex issues and providing process-oriented solutions for improvement. We look forward to seeing many of you at our annual Vitro Certified™ Network meeting in sunny Miami, where we’ll introduce attendees to the newest members of Vitro’s teams across the globe.
Sincerely,
Mark Seeton Vice President, Sales Vitro Architectural Glass
Project Showcase: Pikes Peak Summit House
The newly constructed Pikes Peak Summit House visitor center in Cascade, Colo., was designed to provide a seamless, immersive visitor experience to take in the magnificent mountain views, which was made possible thanks to 10,000 square feet of Solarban® 70 glass.
Review some common some FAQs about what industry pros need to know about color rendering index (CRI), what effect different types of glass have on color rendering and what to consider about CRI when fulfilling design intent.
