Chantilly, Virginia — The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) has installed Scott Vidimos as its 2026-2027 president following its annual convention in Orlando, Florida.

Vidimos, president of East Chicago, Indiana-based Vidimos, Inc., will serve a one-year term. He succeeds Todd Hill of Ventcon, who becomes immediate past president.

Vidimos has served on SMACNA's Board of Directors and several national committees. His industry involvement also includes serving as an International Training Institute (IFUS) trustee, participating in labor panels, and working with the association's Industrial Market Sector Council.

He has also collaborated with the Sheet Metal Occupational Health Institute Trust (SMOHIT) on foreman training and competency-based apprentice training curricula. At the regional level, Vidimos has served on the board of the Northern Indiana Sheet Metal Contractors Association and as a trustee for local industry and Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) pension funds.

During his presidency, Vidimos plans to increase awareness of the sheet metal and air conditioning industry's contributions and the value of careers in the skilled trades. He also intends to strengthen industry advocacy and help policymakers better understand the sector's role in building and maintaining infrastructure.

"I'm committed to showcasing the great many benefits of careers in the trades and all that we do to strengthen buildings and lives," Vidimos said. He also emphasized the importance of working with policymakers to establish a sustainable path forward for the industry and its workforce.
