Beyond his career at IP Corporation, Bob was a tireless contributor to industry organizations. He was instrumental as Composites Institute Chairman in the formation of the ACMA organization from its predecessors, the SPI-Composites Institute and the Composite Fabricators Association. He also served on the ACMA Board of Directors from 1999 – 2004 and received the Presidents Award in 2004.
