Elected to the committee are Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) chairman Ty Garrison, senior vice president, CMC;  first vice chair Matt Ruckwardt, president, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills; treasurer Ed Goettl, vice president, market development, Optimus Steel; immediate past chair Mark Millett, chairman, chief executive officer, and co-founder, Steel Dynamics Inc.; and vice chairs at large: Greg Murphy, executive vice president of business services and general counsel, Nucor Corp.; Charles Schmitt, president, SSAB Americas; Lenore Trammell, chief administrative officer, chief compliance officer and general counsel, U.

“Returning chair Ty Garrison headlines an impressive group of steel industry leaders on our executive committee at a pivotal time for domestic steelmakers,” SMA president Philip K. Bell said. “One of their top priorities will be to support the new administration and Congress as they stand up to unfair trade, embrace pro-growth tax policy and reduce the regulatory burden on manufacturers.”

They also will guide the organization’s second year of work on a three-year strategic plan that sets ambitious goals for advocacy, industry research and data aggregation, and public relations, the organization said.
