The Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) announced the Richard “Rick” Duncan, Ph.D., PE, will retire a full-time role as executive director. Duncan will complete his term with the SPFA in April and stay in a consulting role as technical director. The SPFA is interviewing candidates to fill the position.

“Our organization and members have benefitted immensely from the commitment and leadership [Duncan] provided daily as executive director these past few years,” says Bonnie Strickler, president at SPFA. “Enhancements to our membership and offerings, as well as the growth and success of the annual SprayFoam Convention and Expo, have been notable and we are incredibly grateful for [Duncan’s] role in that. We all want to congratulate him on his retirement and are thrilled that he has decided to remain with us as our technical director.”

Duncan entered the role of SPFA executive director in September 2020 during the pandemic. Duncan also previously held the role of technical director from August 2008 to September 2020.

“I’m happy with what the SPFA board of directors, committees and staff have been able to accomplish these past few years,” says Duncan. “I am comfortable passing the torch along, as well as being able to continue with the SPFA as technical director.”
