Lance Clark never considered himself a "TAB guy," so when John Hamilton, director of implementation of the National Energy Management Institute Committee (NEMIC), called to deliver the news he had been selected as the 2021 Testing Adjusting and Balancing Bureau (TABB) Hall of Fame inductee, Clark was speechless.
The TABB Hall of Fame was created in 2003 to recognize and honor deserving individuals for their dedicated service to TABB. Clark was selected as the 19th honoree.
Where Clark differs from the other Hall of Fame members is he doesn't have a formal testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) background. But for nearly 20 years, he served as the training administrator of Sheet Metal Workers Local 105 near Los Angeles, and in 2007, with about 3% of contractors in the area bidding TAB work, he successfully pushed for the creation of a $2.8 million, 5,000-square-foot TAB lab, where local members and those from across the country could come to train and complete various certification exams.
Clark was inducted into the TABB Hall of Fame for his vision and ability to push the industry forward, even when it was, at first, uncomfortable, said Duane Smith, director of certification, International Certification Board/Testing, Adjusting and Balancing Bureau (ICB/TABB).
