Davis Now ISFA Education Chief
INGOMAR, Pa. – Industry veteran Aaron Davis has been hired to fill the new position of Chief of Education for the International Surface Fabricators Alliance (ISFA).
The newly created executive position is designed to accelerate the ISFA’s national growth strategy and workforce development initiatives.
The move is part of an aggressive, forward-focused plan to strengthen the organization’s education infrastructure and advance the development of the 2026 Countertop and Surface Fabrication Licensing Standard. A pilot program for the industry-led model will take place later this year in California.
In his new role, Davis will lead the development of ISFA’s regional training structure, build out a product-specific national trainer network, and spearhead the creation of future apprenticeship programs designed to support the countertop and surface fabrication industry directly in their shops.
Davis brings 26 years of experience in the solid surface industry and is recognized as a leading technical expert. He has played a key role in delivering advanced technical solutions, supporting research-and-development initiatives and ensuring fabrication and installation processes meet the highest industry standards.
He comes to his position at ISFA from Trinseo, where he served as a technical resource specialist for Avonite Solid Surface. In that position he evaluated and qualified products, oversaw product status and ensured full compliance with manufacturer warranty requirements. From that position, he became a distribution account manager.
Davis has also served as an international solid surface instructor, teaching hundreds of certified fabrication training courses worldwide. He has a reputation for translating complex technical concepts into practical, hands-on instruction.
ISFA President Travis McDermott expressed strong support for Davis, saying he has been an integral part of education and training for ISFA as long as the organization has been around.
“For Aaron to join us at this time demonstrates his belief in the direction we are going,” says McDermott. “It also reinforces what ISFA stands for; all products are created equal.”
ISFA is also recruiting a National Safety, Health and Regulatory Compliance Director and a Region 9 (California) Executive Director. These positions are critical for ensuring ISFA meets the key performance indicators established under its Fabricator Safety Initiative 4 and successfully implements the California pilot program.
