The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) announced that Diane Wyman is resigning after five years as executive vice president (EVP), effective August 9.
Wyman leaves AATCC to join Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), a silver corporate member of the association. “I will continue to be an active AATCC member and volunteer, wherever I go,” she says.
In addition to serving as executive vice president, Wyman has been director of the publications, membership and technical departments. A member of AATCC since 2001, she has also participated in numerous administrative and technical committees.
In the interim, John Daniels will fill the vacated post until a permanent replacement is named. Daniels previously held the executive vice president role for more than 20 years and the board of directors has agreed for him to be named executive vice president emeritus. Wyman and Daniels will work together during the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition.
“Diana, besides being EVP, is one of the strongest technical experts on the AATCC team,” says Kanti Jasani, an AATCC board member.
Throughout her time at the association, Wyman navigated AATCC through COVID shutdowns and restrictions. She oversaw building enhancements, displays and celebrations for the Association’s 100th anniversary in 2021.
“Diana and I have been professional peers for over 20 years, working within AATCC, ASTM and ISO. She will be sorely missed as the executive vice president, but I look forward to continue working with her in the standards communities and I wish her well and success in her future endeavors,” says John Crocker, AATCC president.
The AATCC Board of Directors will begin the search for a new executive vice president immediately. A search committee and job description are being developed and will be announced soon.
