William (Bill) Allmond became president of the Adhesive and Sealant Council Inc. (ASC) in August 2016, after serving as vice president of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates for 10 years. Here, he discusses what he brings to the ASC, as well as his plans for 2017 and beyond.
Allmond: One of the biggest issues involves uncertainties with the new administration. We are a global industry. Trade is a big part of our industry, and there is some uncertainty with the Trump administration and trade policy if that’s something that is going to benefit the industry or going to hurt us or provide more barriers to trade.
