The Hydraulic Institute is regarded internationally as the spokesperson for the North American pump industry and is an influential participant in the setting of domestic and international standards.

"I am very honored to have been chosen to lead such a prestigious association," said DePalma. "There are many challenges in the industry today and it is my hope to meet these demands during my tenure as president."

DePalma joined ITT Industries in 1977. In 1993 he was appointed General Manager of Bell & Gossett, and in 1996 he was named president of ITT’s Fluid Handling Division.
