President of Americas at Döhler, Paul Graham, was announced as FEMA’s new president during the FEMA Annual Leadership Conference, which took place in Charleston (SC) from April 29 to May 1, 2024.
Graham is said to bring vast experience of more than 35 years in the industry and has been an honored member of FEMA for more than 10 years. He officially assumed his role on May 1, 2024, following his recognition by the association members and former president Laurette Rondenet.
Graham shares, "I am deeply committed to leading FEMA through a period of evolution by creating and implementing a comprehensive strategic five-year plan. This will enhance collaboration among FEMA Committee Chairs, members, and stakeholders, while working together with IOFI (International Organization of the Flavor Industry).”
According to a release, another central topic to Graham's agenda is advancing FEMA’s commitment to ensuring the safe and responsible use of flavorings through FEMA GRAS while fostering industry innovation. He is dedicated to improving outreach and membership engagement as well as making FEMA more accessible, strengthening programs like the FIL (Flavor Ingredient Library) and FEMA FLI (Future Leaders Initiative).
