Past Presidents of PLANT WNY

Since 1943 with our first president, many men and women have dedicated their time shaping, growing, and promoting our association.  Their leadership, time, commitment, and foresight is why we are still vibrant.  We are thankful to all of them and appreciate all they did (and do) for our association and our industry!
