ACA appoints Mike Johnson as incoming president and CEO

Effective Nov. 1. Johnson, president and CEO of the National Stone, Sand, & Gravel Association (NSSGA), will succeed Andy Doyle, who was first appointed as the association’s CEO in March 1988 and whose ACA career spans 45 years.

Johnson has led NSSGA since 2013. Prior to joining NSSGA, he served as executive vice president and chief advocacy officer at the National Beer Wholesalers Association, and before that, as vice president of Government Relations at the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America. His association experience began at the National Association of Home Builders, where he served as congressional affairs and grassroots director. Johnson holds a B.A. in Political Science and Journalism from the University of Kentucky.

“We look forward to Mike’s leadership at ACA and are confident his knowledge and experience will propel the paint and coatings industry and the association forward over the next several years,” said Jeff Powell, ACA chairman and president and CEO of Diamond Vogel.

ACA announced Andy Doyle’s impending retirement in March of this year. “Andy’s stewardship of the association over the past four decades is nothing short of extraordinary,” remarked Powell. “He has been a consistent champion for our industry and interests.”
