The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has elected a new slate of leadership to guide its board through the end of the decade, approving 17 industry executives for extended terms beginning January 1, 2027.

 

The decision was confirmed during the council’s Annual Business Meeting, reinforcing continuity at the top of one of the US chemical and plastics sector’s most influential trade groups.

 

“Our Board of Directors brings together leaders with exceptional experience across the chemical and plastics industry,” said Chris Jahn, President and CEO, ACC. 

 

“In a time of heightened global competition and rapidly changing business environments, their leadership helps ensure ACC remains focused on strengthening U.S. competitiveness and supporting innovation across the industry. I’m thankful for their continued commitment to advancing a world made better by chemistry.”

 

The board plays a central role in setting ACC policy, shaping advocacy priorities, approving budgets, and steering the organization’s strategic direction.

 

The newly approved directors will serve terms running from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029. 

 

The group includes senior executives from major global chemical and manufacturing companies, among them leaders from OxyChem, AmSty, Milliken & Company, Huntsman Corporation, ICL, AdvanSix, Evonik Corporation, The Lubrizol Corporation, Procter & Gamble, Ashland LLC, American Air Liquide Holdings, Indorama Ventures, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP, Nouryon, Solstice Advanced Materials, LyondellBasell, and Alpek Polyester USA LLC.

 

ACC said the board will continue to guide its mission of advancing science-based policy, industry sustainability, and manufacturing competitiveness across the United States.

 

The organization describes its mission as advocating for “the people, policy, and products of chemistry” and promoting “a world made better by chemistry,” while supporting safety, innovation, and long-term industry growth.
