The CEO Issue logo

 

Plastics News' eighth annual CEO issue, which will be published Sept. 5, 2022, will include profiles of current and retired industry CEOs. We are now asking for submissions of people with current or former president or CEO titles at plastics companies. That includes both processor and supplier companies, both inside and outside of North America.

This year, we added some more questions about how CEOs are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. That's in addition to asking CEOs to share their stories about how they ended up in plastics, to talk about mentors who have helped along the way and to share their advice with workers considering a career in the industry.

Submissions must be received by Aug. 15, 2022. The survey is available at www.plasticsnews.com/ceo
