PCI Synthesis announced the company’s president, Ed Price, has joined the Board of Governors of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA). SOCMA supports chemical manufacturers with commercial and networking opportunities, advocates for the passage of rational laws and regulation, and works to increase public confidence in the industry.
Price, who has been involved in a number of other industry associations over more than two decades, was elected to the board during SOCMA’s 96th Annual Business Meeting on December 4, 2017, in New York.
“I am looking forward to joining our Board of Governors as we work together to reinvigorate and transform our association,” said Price. “As a longtime SOCMA member, I’m eager to help ensure that the mission, policies and strategic direction of the association are aligned with membership needs.”
“Price brings a wealth of expertise to the table, and with his insight and experience, I am confident that together we can successfully lead this organization forward and better align it to meet the needs of our members and the specialty chemical industry,” said David Doles, Chairman of the Board and Vice President and Head of the Business Unit for Materials Performance and Protection at Lonza.
SOCMA’s Board of Governors provides strategic direction, maintains fiscal responsibility and helps deliver member value. Through regular meetings, the board ensures effective organizational planning and sees that association resources are managed responsibly.
As president of PCI Synthesis, Price has grown the company from a single, small lab into the largest small molecule drug substance manufacturer in New England, with two state-of-the-art facilities and more than 150 employees.
