Stepping Down
C. Manly Molpus, president and CEO of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) since 1990, will leave the position at the end of this year.
“After 16 years as CEO of this remarkable organization, I have accomplished my goals, and with the development of a new strategic plan, it will be an appropriate time for me to leave,” Molpus said. “I deeply appreciate the steadfast support of the board and the membership that has allowed GMA to lead a unified industry on the critical issues of the day.”
Past GMA Chairman Steve Sanger, chairman and CEO of Minneapolis-based General Mills, will lead the committee to search for Molpus’ successor.
