The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) has appointed Gregg Woodcock as its new Executive Director, beginning November 11. A graduate of the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science and the Institute of Textile Technology, Woodcock has built a notable career in textiles, starting with Burlington Industries and advancing to his current role as Senior Manager of Product Quality/Safety at Hanes brands Inc.
An active AATCC member, Woodcock has led and contributed significantly to research committees. Currently, he chairs the RA88 committee on Home Laundering Technology and frequently speaks at AATCC workshops, including the recent Textile Testing Workshop for Specifiers.
Woodcock will assume the role from John Y. ‘Jack’ Daniels, who temporarily returned as Executive Vice President after Diana Wyman’s departure. Daniels, who served over 20 years in AATCC’s leadership, will be named Executive Vice President, Emeritus and will continue on select committees. AATCC expressed its gratitude to Daniels for facilitating a smooth leadership transition.
