Bocchi stepping down as Vinyl Institute president

  ALEXANDRIA, VA. (Updated Feb. 23, 11:50 a.m. ET) -- The Vinyl Institute is looking for a new president for the second time in three years.
VI’s executive committee announced Feb. 23 that Greg Bocchi would leave the Alexandria-based trade association at the end of February.
Allen Blakey, vice president of industry and government affairs and an 11-year-veteran at VI, will assume the administrative duties of the president while the executive committee searches for a new president.
Sources said the executive committee was looking for a different style of leadership and asked Bocchi to step aside.
The VI executive committee includes representatives from Shintech Inc., Formosa Plastics Corp., Westlake Chemical Corp. and OxyVinyls, an Occidental Chemical Corp. company -- four companies that make PVC resin.
P.J. Hebert, business director for PVC resins at OxyVinyls, is chairman of the executive committee.
Bocchi was named president of VI on May 1, 2008. He replaced Tim Burns, who retired after heading the association since 1999.
VI represents manufacturers of PVC, vinyl chloride monomer, vinyl additives and modifiers, and vinyl packaging materials such as film and sheet products.
