ACD’s Leadership Institute builds on the success of the Emerging Leaders program with an expanded suite of offerings. Now featuring three targeted programs—the Aspiring Leaders Program, Emerging Leaders Program, and Executive Leaders Program—the Leadership Institute is tailored to support professionals at every stage of their career and distribution experience. These programs focus on nurturing leaders who are dedicated to advancing both the chemical distribution industry and their own professional growth.
To describe the past several months in ocean shipping as bumpy would be an understatement. In October, the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) went on strike when it could not reach an agreement with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), the association representing their employers. The strike lasted four days until a tentative agreement was reached, with a second deadline set for mid-January.
The dedicated members of the Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) play a crucial role in ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality chemical products that are essential to our daily lives. Over the years, our members have broadened the base of the industries they support to include paint and coatings, general manufacturing, water treatment, petroleum, automotive, energy markets, and more. One sector, however, stands out among the rest this holiday season: household cleaners and personal care.
