After over two decades, John Daniels to retire from AATCC

After 21 years, executive vice-president John Daniels will retire from AATCC in March 2018. In 1974, Daniels had joined AATCC as laboratory manager, working with numerous test method development committees in developing new methods, improving existing test methods, and managing the development of technical symposia. After five years in this position, he moved on to a successful career in the textile industry.

During his tenure as executive vice president, AATCC began exhibiting at major global textile trade shows; instituted online webinars and online test method training; launched international test method trainers in numerous countries; instituted global membership representatives for the convenience of international members; and developed and launched proficiency testing programs.

The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) provides test method development, quality control materials, education, and professional networking for a global audience. Under Daniels’ guidance, AATCC weathered two major textile recessions, when many US textile manufacturing and apparel jobs were lost. He positioned the association to weather these difficult times, and remain financially and professionally sound.

In 2016, with help and tremendous support from members and non-members alike, the AATCC foundation reached the million-dollar mark in contributions, and now provides 13 scholarships focused on textile design, merchandising, sciences, and engineering.
