en.Wedoany.com Reported - The American Cement Association (ACA) has appointed Diane Tomb as its next President and CEO. She will officially succeed Mike Ireland, the ACA's outgoing President and CEO, after his departure at the end of the year.
Tomb brings over 25 years of experience in public policy, coalition building, and executive leadership. She was previously a Partner at ACG Advocacy, where she advised clients on trade, housing, federal investment, energy, and infrastructure policy. Prior to that, Tomb served as CEO of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), where she elevated the industry's national voice and established partnerships with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to protect consumers from real estate-related fraud. Before ALTA, she served as Chair of the National Rental Home Council and as President and CEO of the National Association of Women Business Owners.
Tomb also has extensive federal government experience, including serving as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Director of Public Affairs for the International Trade Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce, and in roles at the White House.
ACA Board Chair and Ash Grove East Region President Monica Manolas stated that Tomb brings strong leadership experience to the association, a deep professional understanding of national trade associations, a proven track record of driving collaboration within and across industries to create lasting value, and effective advocacy capabilities on Capitol Hill. Manolas noted that Tomb has an impressive record of elevating the profile of other prominent trade associations and expressed confidence that she will take the ACA to the next level.
Tomb stated that the American cement industry is a foundational pillar of the nation's infrastructure, manufacturing base, and national security. She pointed out that as innovation and technology change how data centers and next-generation infrastructure are built, domestic cement production is critical to America's economic competitiveness.
Tomb will work closely with outgoing Mike Ireland to ensure a smooth transition. Ireland will remain with the ACA through the end of the year. Manolas expressed gratitude for Ireland's contributions during his leadership of the ACA. Ireland stated that the ACA's strength comes from its staff, mission, and commitment to serving the industry, and he is confident that under Tomb's leadership, the ACA will continue its growth and influence.
