Chemtrec, an emergency hazmat response service provider, appoints William Erny, previously senior director with the American Chemistry Council, to lead the organization's regulatory and strategic alliance initiatives.
Erny, who joins as director of regulatory affairs and strategic alliances, has more than 35 years’ experience working in the areas of chemical safety and security, regulatory compliance and public policy. His professional experience includes military logistics support with the U.S. Department of Defence (DoD), technical director of the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA), senior regulatory analyst with the American Petroleum Institute (API) and over the past 11 years as senior policy director with the American Chemistry Council (ACC).
As part of his tenure with ACC, Erny acted as a strategic liaison with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, directing its chemical security policy program on behalf of ACC members. Erny represented ACC members before Congress, the executive branch and U.S. regulatory agencies.
“With William joining our team, we now have an incredible resource in his skillset and experience engaging senior government officials as well as industry leaders,” says Bruce Samuelsen, Chemtrec’s chief executive. “As a key policy influencer in his past roles with the ACC and the API, he will be able to advance and further develop our products and services to enable the industry to become safer.”
