The Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association (DIPRA) was employed a new Director of Communications and Marketing after the previous director was promoted. Brian Hartlove joined the association from the Water Environment Federation.
DIPRA President Patrick J. Hogan said: “We are very excited to welcome Brian to the DIPRA team and look forward to his creative and innovative guidance to build on the communications and marketing strategies implemented by Lynn and her team over the past several years. Brian’s depth of experience will be critical as DIPRA continues looking at the resilience, strength and durability of the pipes used in drinking water systems. Access to clean drinking water has become all the more critical, and DIPRA’s member-companies are proud to partner with municipalities and private utilities to ensure the pipes in water systems will last for generations.”
Brian said: “I’m looking forward to furthering DIPRA’s contributions to the debate over access to clean drinking water. Ductile iron pipes are strong and resilient, and our marketing and communications campaigns will continue to reflect the valuable difference these pipes make for communities looking for long-term solutions to improve water access. I’m eager to engage in this debate by promoting the good work of our member-companies and research based in science that shows the importance of resilient pipes in water systems throughout the United States and Canada.”
