PCI searches for next president as Toscas leaves to head PCA

摘要

Jim Toscas, PCI president, left PCI December 12, 2014, to take over as president and CEO of the Portland Cement Association in Skokie, Ill. The PCI Executive Committee has asked Roger Becker, PCI's managing director of Research and Development, to serve as interim PCI president, effective December 15. Becker has 26 years' experience in consulting and 11 years in the producer industry. "It's important that the person handling the interim responsibilities not be a candidate for the permanent position, and Roger has made it clear that he is not a candidate," says Dean Gwin, immediate past chairman of PCI. "We are fortunate to have someone with Roger's knowledge and experience available to serve in this role."
