Philip Bowers, President of Advanced Cabinet Systems (ACS), is the newest member to the Architectural Woodworking Institute’s (AWI) marketing committee. This position will enable ACS to have a voice within one of the strongest and largest woodworking organizations in the industry. “This is a wonderful opportunity” says Bowers. “Our mission at ACS is to do all that we can to advance the woodworking industry and pull it out of the dark ages; a seat on the marketing committee of such a large organization is the perfect platform to help us fulfil our mission.”

The committee is filled with several other manufacturers from across the country along with some employees of the AWI, all with diverse backgrounds and industry experience. “The group has some wild ideas that, I think, will garner a lot of attention from the architectural, design and construction communities.” Bowers goes on to say that it is important for individuals whom work with the industry understand the impact that wood and laminated products can have in large construction projects.

ACS has also recently gained representation on the board of the Construction Specification’s Institute’s board and participates regularly in many industry groups.
