The board of directors for the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has elected Daniel DiMicco, chairman, president and CEO of Nucor Corp., to serve as chairman of the Institute until May of 2011.
“Dan brings a strong commitment to advancing the Institute’s pro-manufacturing agenda at a time when we are facing major policy issues in Washington that have great impact for our industry,” says Thomas Gibson, AISI’s president and CEO. “Dan’s energy, and his leadership and advocacy skills will serve greatly toward making our voice resonate on Capitol Hill and toward mobilizing our industry’s grass roots power.”
DiMicco succeeds James Wainscott, chairman, president and CEO of AK Steel Corp., who had been serving as chairman of AISI since January, 2009.
In his role as chairman, DiMicco will be a leading spokesman for the industry on issues such as the need to strengthen pro-manufacturing public policies as part of America’s economic revitalization and maintaining the competitiveness of the North American steel industry.
