The Aluminum Association
The Aluminum Association, Arlington, Virginia, has appointed Charles “Chuck” Johnson as the association’s new president and chief executive officer, effective Jan. 3, 2022.
Tom Dobbins, the former president and CEO of the Aluminum Association, left the position earlier this fall. Several executives within the association are serving on the association’s interim leadership team for the remainder of this year.
According to a news release from the Aluminum Association, Johnson previously spent more than four years as president and CEO of the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA), a trade organization representing the personal protective equipment and technologies industry also based in Arlington. Prior to that, he served for 19 years at the Aluminum Association in roles of increasing responsibility, including vice president for policy.
“I am thrilled to be part of the Aluminum Association’s next chapter during this exciting time for the U.S. aluminum industry,” Johnson says. “Aluminum has enormous opportunities and challenges in areas like global trade, recycling, climate and supply chain issues, and I look forward to working with the association’s leadership and staff on moving the industry forward.”
During his time with ISEA, Johnson helped to modernize ISEA’s operations and accounting program, and he led the passage of key liability legislation for safety equipment manufacturers. During his tenure, ISEA also grew its membership, staff and budget.
“Chuck is a natural born leader and also has a tremendous depth and breadth of experience on aluminum industry issues,” says Buddy Stemple, CEO of Constellium Rolled Products and Aluminum Association chair. “He is uniquely qualified to step into this new role, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring him on board.”
