BAYER’S CARL ANGELOFF NAMED PRESIDENT OF SSPC BOARD OF GOVERNORS
18 January 2005 - Bayer MaterialScience AG
| Carl Angeloff, Manager of Market Development for the Maintenance and Monomers coatings business for Bayer MaterialScience LLC, recently was named President of the Board of Governors for the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC). |
He succeeds Robert A. Kogler of the Federal Highway Administration, who was unable to complete his term due to other commitments and responsibilities within his agency. Angeloff, who has served on the SSPC Board for more than five years, was voted President-elect in July 2004, and was originally due to take over as President July 1, 2005. “I have always been proud to be a member of the SSPC. Now, I am truly honored to represent the membership as President, especially during this exciting time in organization’s history,” said Angeloff. “During my tenure, I plan to work closely with the rest of the Board to both maintain what we’ve already achieved and to create exciting new opportunities for our members as we have done with PACE.” PACE is the Paint and Coatings Expo 2005, which will be held Jan. 23-26 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. According to Angeloff, PACE is the first combined technical conference and trade show offered by SSPC and the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. Dubbed as a mega tradeshow for the paint and coatings industry, PACE is designed to serve as a one-stop-shop for technical and business education, a forum for demonstrations of the newest and most innovative technology, a place to meet the leading contractors and manufacturers, and an incredible venue to celebrate the profession. SSPC management is overseen by a Board of Governors composed of 12 elected members, plus a non-voting secretary and treasurer, and ex-officio members. The Board supervises, controls and directs the affairs of SSPC; determines and interprets its policies within the limits of the Bylaws; actively prosecutes its purposes; and has discretion in the disbursement of its funds. The Board has final authority over all boards and committees, and has the authority to direct specific items to be sent to the general membership for consideration and vote. Angeloff is a registered professional engineer in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and the author of more than 40 papers on the topics of polyurethane coatings and steel and concrete structures. He began his career with Bayer in 1990 as a technical marketing specialist. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Civil Engineering. After college, Angeloff worked for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, where he was the district bridge engineer for western Pennsylvania. After leaving PennDOT, he worked for the American Institute of Steel Construction as northeast regional engineer. In addition to his role on the SSPC Board, Angeloff is active in many other professional associations, including the Engineers’ Society of Western Pennsylvania and the Polyurea Development Association. SSPC is the only non-profit association that is focused on the protection and preservation of concrete, steel and other industrial and marine structures and surfaces through the use of high-performance industrial coatings. SSPC is the leading source of information on surface preparation, coating selection, coating application, environmental regulations, and health and safety issues that affect the protective coatings industry.
