Michelin North America chairman and president Pete Selleck was elected to serve as the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) chairman of the board of directors.
 
“We are excited to have Pete aboard as the new RMA board chairman,” said Charles Cannon, RMA president and CEO. “I am confident that the board and RMA’s membership will be well-served by Pete’s strong leadership skills over the next two years.”
 
Selleck assumed his leadership role Oct. 1 and will serve two years. He replaces Roy Armes, chairman, president and CEO of Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., who served as RMA board chairman since 2011.
 
“In addition to addressing the many regulatory and legislative issues impacting the U.S. tire industry, the RMA has a strong record of pro-safety advocacy and education, and solid achievements in environmental stewardship,” said Selleck. “It’s a privilege to lead the organization and its members to continue to strengthen our industry and positively impact those we serve.”
