The American Wood Council[2] (AWC) has named Jackson Morrill, president of the Composite Panel Association[3] (CPA), as AWC’s new president and CEO.
He is succeeding Robert Glowinski, who is retiring at the end of the year after over 40 years with wood industry associations and the last 10 years as AWC’s president and CEO.
“The structural wood products industry is poised for growth. I believe in this industry and am passionate about what it represents as a sustainable building material,” Morrill said. “Additionally, I am fortunate to be coming into an organization that has an excellent track record and staff, and strong, sustained leadership from the current president and CEO Robert Glowinski. I look forward to continuing Bob’s legacy in advancing the industry, especially in looking for opportunities in new markets, such as those made available through AWC’s remarkable efforts in support of tall mass timber construction.”
Morrill comes to AWC with over 20 years of experience working on environmental, sustainability, industry standards and testing, and other issues, as a lawyer and trade association representative. Prior to CPA, he worked at the American Chemistry Council (ACC), practiced environmental law at a Beveridge & Diamond, and served as an environmental law consultant at the World Bank. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Tulane Law School and is admitted to the Maryland and District of Columbia bars.
“Jackson’s background shows him to be an outstanding choice to lead the industry and further leverage the unique aspects of wood products,” said Neil Sherman, AWC board chair. “Our selection committee was equally impressed by his demonstrated leadership, demeanor, and outlook. AWC and CPA have worked together on a number of issues over the years, which give him additional insight into AWC’s program focus on building and fire code development, legislative and regulatory advocacy, education, and strategic communications. We are very excited to have him come in and lead the association to its next level of excellence.”
