WASHINGTON, DC – Steve Prusak, president and CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, will become the American Chemistry Council's newest officer, with a term beginning on Jan. 1, 2025.
ACC is a chemical industry trade association representing more than 190 chemical companies with a mission to advocate for the industry at all levels of government.
“I’m eager to serve as the newest ACC officer alongside so many capable industry leaders,” Prusak said. “This is an incredibly dynamic time for our industry, and I look forward to working with ACC to overcome challenges and seize opportunities that will help advance ACC’s vision for a world made better by chemistry.”
Prusak will first assume the role of vice chairman of the Board and chairman of ACC’s Board Finance, Audit and Membership Committee. He will serve in this capacity for one year, followed by a one-year term each as chairman of the Executive Committee and chairman of the Board.
ACC President and CEO Chris Jahn said he’s pleased to have Prusak serve “in this important leadership capacity.”
“Steve will provide a highly respected, leadership example for the industry — advocating for policies that support growing chemical production here in the United States, demonstrating the importance of engaging with and supporting local communities, and delivering business value throughout the chemical and plastics supply chain,” Jahn said.
Erin Kane, current chairwoman of the ACC Board and president and CEO of AdvanSix, said that Prusak embodies the values of safety and sustainability “and demonstrates that every day through his commitment to his employees, his stakeholders and the communities he serves.”
“That dedication, combined with his 30 years of experience and versatility across corporate planning, R&D and continuous improvement of business processes and operations will be invaluable to ACC in the years ahead,” Kane said.
