SPI Molders choose Hidding as chairman
The SPI Molders Division named David Hidding to succeed Donald Dew as chairman for a three-year term that will begin June 1.

Dew is president and chief executive officer of Diemolding Corp. in Canastota, N.Y.
Divisions restructure conference format
Arrangements for annual gatherings of three Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. divisions will change next year.
A joint conference of Machinery Division and Moldmakers Division members is set for May 1-5, 1999, in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The Molders Division plans to hold a 1999 executive retreat, rather than continue its practice of holding a joint conference with the Moldmakers. Details for the retreat still are being worked out.
