The Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute (CLFMI) announced during its Annual Business Meeting in November 2025 that its members elected two new companies to the CLFMI Board of Directors. Stephens Pipe and Steel (Russell Springs, KY) and Security Contractor Services (North Highlands, CA) were elected to three-year terms that begin in 2026.
Stephens Pipe and Steel and Security Contractor Services bring a valuable perspective from across the supply chain, reinforcing CLFMI’s mission to support the continued advancement of chain link products, specifications, and installation best practices. Their participation on the Board will help ensure CLFMI initiatives remain aligned with real-world industry needs—supporting quality, performance, and consistency for contractors, specifiers, and end users.
CLFMI also recognized outgoing Board members Fencast Industries (Ryan Ruzesky, company representative) and The Fencing Supply Group (Ashley Duncan, company representative) for their service and leadership to the association. The CLFMI Board of Directors provides governance and strategic direction for programs that strengthen the chain link fence industry through technical resources, education, and collaboration across manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and contractors. Board members support the association’s work by helping guide priorities, encouraging member engagement, and advancing resources that promote safe, durable, and innovative chain link fence systems.
Later in the meeting, the Board announced the CLFMI leadership team for 2026. Officers are elected by the Board and are responsible for supporting committee work and helping guide CLFMI priorities for the year.
