Poston will serve on the board for a three-year term, and in addition to his board duties he will also serve as the Co-Chair of the Membership and Marketing Committee.

Poston said, “I’m honored to represent Hytrol on the CEMA Board of Directors and to serve alongside so many respected leaders in our industry.
