Peggy Davies, who has been heading the Private Label Manufacturers Association on an interim basis since last June, formally has been appointed president. The appointment continues for a term of three years.
Davies, who was PLMA’s vice president of association relations, took over last summer after the sudden death of PLMA’s founder and longtime leader Brian Sharoff. She is a 40+ year industry veteran, having served for a number of years on the PLMA Board representing Agrilink Foods and McCain Foods USA. She also served two terms as PLMA’s Board Chair.
“We recognized from Day 1 that Peggy was well prepared to undertake the responsibilities of the position,” said Board Chairman Clay Dockery, who also is Division Vice President of Corporate Brands at Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA. “It has been thanks to her deep experience and understanding of both the industry and the association that Peggy has proven the wisdom of that decision."
