Heckel Award

ACA presented Sandra Berg, chairman and CEO of Pacific Resource Recovery Services, with the George Baugh Heckel Award – the association’s highest honor. Berg was recognized for her leadership efforts on behalf of the association and the industry. A former ACA chairman, vice chairman, member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, Berg’s tenure as ACA chairman, from 2014-2016, marked a period of notable milestones and growth for the association: Berg was the first woman to serve in this role. Under her leadership, ACA succeeded in establishing the industry’s landmark paint stewardship program, PaintCare, in Colorado, Maine, and the District of Columbia.

​Additionally, during her tenure at ACA’s helm, the association undertook an evaluation of its mission and organizational structure. As a result of that effort, ACA revised its mission to include declarations about PaintCare and a commitment to Sustainability; and the association’s longstanding committee structure was reconfigured to better align with ACA’s directional focus. Berg’s tenure also saw the issuance of ACA’s initial Product Category Rule (PCR) for Architectural Coatings. The PCR created a framework by which industry could assess the environmental life-cycle impacts of architectural coatings to publish Environmental Product Declarations, if they chose.

In addition to leading the association, Berg served for many years on ACA’s Budget & Finance, Bylaws, and Nominating Committees, and chaired the association’s Coatings Care and Industrial Coatings Committees. She was also the founding chair of the California Paint & Coatings Association and served as its president for several years.

Berg joined her family business, Ellis Paint Company, in 1977, and held varied management roles before becoming president of Ellis Paint and the other Berg family company, Pacific Resource Recovery Services, in 1992. In 1995 she took on the CEO role for both companies. She grew her family companies and their operations for some 40 years, and in 2017, oversaw acquisition of Ellis Paint Company by Axalta Specialty Coatings.

Berg is a board member of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a role she has served since her initial appointment in 2004 by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. She was re-appointed to the board by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011, and in 2015, she was elected by CARB to serve as its vice chair. CARB is California’s lead air quality agency, responsible for protecting public health by reducing air pollution. In this role she has chaired several committees overseeing a billion dollars of public incentive funding and facilitated key policy implementation groups, emphasizing the need to protect public health and the environment while simultaneously keeping business strong.

In addition to her service with CARB, ACA, and the coatings industry, Berg has a passion for youth and education. She is a past board member of the Hollenbeck Policy Activity League and was honored with the 2015 Pal of the Year Award. She served for 10 years on Rep. Roybal Allard’s Congressional District Student Art Competition committee and chaired the committee for two terms. She is a trustee member of the Jack Corwin Family Foundation, and a past member of Young Presidents’ Organization and C-200, a philanthropic organization of businesswoman.

ACA’s award is named for George Baugh Heckel, a pioneer of the paint and coatings industry. An artist, poet, novelist, journalist, physician, and surgeon, Heckel devoted much of his life to promoting the interests of the coatings industry.

Award of Honor and Meritorious Service

The Award of Honor and Meritorious Service is a special, posthumous acknowledgement presented this year in recognition of David F. Darling’s exemplary contributions to ACA and the paint and coatings industry. David F. Darling was vice president of Health, Safety, and Environmental Affairs at ACA, and a dear friend and colleague who passed away on January 30, 2022. A staunch and effective advocate for ACA and the industry, David’s eagerness and warmth was always evident in his work, and he built a wide network of individuals and groups that collaborated with him to develop scientifically informed solutions for the coatings industry.

David joined ACA in 1997 as a manager of environmental affairs with a BS and MS in Environmental Engineering from Syracuse University, and an initial focus on facility waste and pretreatment standards. Over his 25 years at ACA, his purview and portfolio grew, and he proudly represented the association and industry across many disciplinary boundaries. In that time, he took on the leadership mantle and served as the premier staff liaison on a vast range of ACA committees, working groups, and coalition efforts on myriad scientific and regulatory matters impacting industry. Chief among these were air quality matters, where David was a leader for industry on regulatory efforts related to VOC content in Architectural Coatings, Industrial Coatings, and Consumer Products. Here, and on emission matters related to Hazardous Air Pollutants, David was an internationally recognized subject matter expert, and he worked tirelessly to negotiate regulations that were less onerous and more palatable for industry. Through these efforts, David became well respected among industry members as well as the federal and state regulators with whom he engaged to press industry positions and data, particularly in California and the state’s numerous local air districts.

His expertise and contributions to the coatings industry extended into the Sustainability sphere and the related area of Product Stewardship. Working with industry members, David addressed pressure early in the 2000s for industry to support post-consumer product waste management. Touting the longstanding industry position that paint is a “consumable” product not intended to become “waste,” David promoted industry-supported research, including product hazard analysis and life-cycle assessments, which affirmed the environmental benefits of the now industry-wide strategy embodied in the environmentally trailblazing PaintCare program. He was also the driving force behind ACA’s first three Sustainability Reports.

David brought his broad depth of industry knowledge to his role as World Coatings Council Secretariat. In that role, he connected ACA with its transcontinental associations to best represent the global interests of the paint and coatings industry. He also spearheaded ACA’s 5-year old Member Webinar Series, bringing regular updates to ACA members on regulatory and market matters from industry, government, and scientific experts, enhancing ACA’s member benefits with programming that was timely and compelling.

David’s presence and contributions to ACA and industry leave an indelible mark.

Industry Statesmen Awards

The Industry Statesman Award is an honor given to individuals at or near retirement, in recognition and appreciation of their long and devoted service to the paint and coatings industry.

Kenneth Armstrong, vice president of Environmental Health & Safety at RPM International Inc., will retire in June 2022. He took on his current role in 2016 after joining RPM in 2006 as director of Environmental Health & Safety. During his tenure with the company, he has served on many ACA leadership councils and committees, including the Industrial Coatings Council; Architectural Coatings Council; Marine Coatings Council; Environmental Management Committee; Occupational Safety & Health Committee; Product Stewardship Committee; Consumer Products Committee; and Transport Committee. Reflecting on his career, he says, “Incorporating EH&S into engineering, operations, and R&D departments upfront for safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly products and services. I tell young people all the time that consideration of simple EH&S principles into manufacturing and R&D will provide the long-term benefits their companies are seeking, and will reduce the need to re-design, re-work, and re-formulate. That is the value proposition with the greatest benefits to your organization.” A Board-Certified Environmental Engineer of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists, and Registered Professional Engineer (State of Ohio), Armstrong earned an MS in Engineering from Cleveland State University; BS in Agronomy and AS in Soil & Water Conservation and Management Technology from Ohio State University.

Heather Burleigh-Flayer retired from PPG Industries as global manager for Toxicology at end of 2019. She began her career with PPG in 1991 as a manager of Toxicology for the Chemicals Group after serving as manager of the Inhalation Toxicology group at Union Carbide Corporation. During her career at PPG, Burleigh-Flayer was heavily involved in many ACA activities, including engagement in the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Review of Cancer Classification for Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). Her expertise and advocacy identifying key studies showing binding of TiO2 to the liquid paint matrix resulted in significant improvement from ECHA’s initial proposal to classify all forms of paint containing TiO2 as a carcinogen. ECHA’s final classification of TiO2 was limited to powders with no classification for liquid and some solid mixtures (e.g., cured paint). Additionally, during the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Review of Painting as an Occupation (2007), she served as toxicology expert for ACA and the World Coatings Council (then-IPPIC), providing guidance during the proceedings as part of the ACA team-sponsored meta-analysis of epidemiological studies evaluating occupational exposures of painters. The results of this study, published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, did not link cancer to painting as an occupation. Burleigh-Flayer received a BS in Physiology from Michigan State University and an MS and Ph.D. in Toxicology at the University of Pittsburgh. She helped PPG receive an award from U.S. EPA in 2009 for efforts achieving superior environmental performance in screening potential risks in new products. During her career she actively participated in the National Society of Toxicology (SOT) where she made many presentations, chaired several workshops related to Occupational Health, authored an SOT position paper on the Globally Harmonized System for Classification of Chemicals, and served as president of the Occupational and Public Health Specialty Section. She and her husband, Joel Flayer, have two sons: Cameron and Garrett.

Greg Johnson, retired director of legislative affairs for the Consumer Brands division at The Sherwin-Williams Company, was a force on several ACA committees. He chaired ACA’s Spray Paint Manufacturers Committee — a predecessor of the Consumer Products Committee, of which he was also a member; served on the ACA Product Stewardship, Environmental Management, and AIM VOC Committees; and chaired the Graffiti Resource Council for three terms. In all his association and industry efforts, he brought data supporting the company’s position directly to regulators. This strategy was repeatedly successful, and Johnson led the industry’s efforts when California’s Air Resources Board undertook significant changes to the aerosol coatings regulation, and in convincing U.S. EPA that a national regulation based upon the same standards was appropriate. In addition, he developed a presentation for U.S. DOT to demonstrate safety aspects of customized aerosol coatings and was a significant contributor to many presentations for air quality agencies regarding the science of the aerosol delivery system. Johnson’s efforts also focused on legislative issues at the federal level, where he organized several legislative visits for the aerosol industry to communicate with members of Congress. Johnson held many leadership positions in industry organizations including the National Aerosol Association, Western Aerosol Information Bureau, Roof Coatings Association, and the Household and Consumer Products Association.

Robert Wendoll, director of Environmental Affairs at the Dunn-Edwards Company, has focused his 41-year career there on environmental responsibility. During that time, he not only ensured the company’s full compliance with all environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, but also lead the company in minimizing and/or eliminating the use of potentially hazardous ingredients from its paints. An active member of ACA's Environmental Management and AIM VOC Committees for many years, Wendoll has been a leader in identifying vital AIM VOC issues for the association. He provided critical data and support, so that ACA could successfully work through these matters. Chief among these is the Paints and Architectural Coatings Environmental Study (PACES) project, for which he provided information and direction that helped the successful completion of this multi-year research endeavor. With his guidance, the project oversaw a life-cycle analysis to assess impacts of stringent, low-VOC regulations and the relationship between coating performance and environmental impacts and work in “Atmospheric Availability” that helped advance the scientific understanding of whether or how much of the VOCs in coatings become available in the atmosphere for ground-level ozone formation. Additionally, Wendoll was instrumental in shaping amendments to California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1113 for Architectural Coatings, and in engagement with the California Air Resources Board on updates to the Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Architectural Coatings, and with the numerous local air districts that implement some version of the SCM.

ACA presented this award to its Miscellaneous Coatings Manufacturing (MCM) Workgroup whose 13 members were instrumental in directing ACA advocacy efforts to minimize the impact of EPA’s Miscellaneous Coatings Manufacturing (MCM) MACT Standard Residual Risk and Technology Review. Because of these efforts, EPA abandoned its plans to increase the stringency of the standard. EPA had been contemplating making changes to the existing standards, including more stringent and costly stationary process tank and particulate control requirements, which would have resulted in millions of dollars of increased compliance costs to industry. ACA and its workgroup were also successful in demonstrating to EPA that increasing the stringency of the Industrial Surface Coating MACT Standards is neither necessary nor cost effective.

The workgroup also led to a successful, years-long ACA advocacy campaign to reverse the problematic EPA “Once-in, Always-in Policy.” ACA’s engagement with Congress and EPA resulted in the agency’s withdrawal of the onerous “Once-In, Always-In” policy. EPA had applied this policy as a ‘rule,’ with binding effects on the regulated community, including very burdensome compliance costs. This policy, in effect for 13 years, required facilities to install costly add-on control equipment requiring a significant capital investment of millions of dollars per facility, plus ongoing costs, even if the facility no longer uses and emits Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Its withdrawal will allow several coatings, ink, and adhesive manufacturing operations to discontinue the use of these expensive add-on control devices.

The following members of the workgroup were honored with the Industry Achievement Award for these efforts.

Scott Thomas, Director of Environmental Affairs, The Sherwin-Williams Company
Steven Travis, Senior Environmental Project Manager, The Sherwin-Williams Company
Edward Bochenek, Environmental Project Manager, The Sherwin-Williams Company
Michael Corcoran, Manager of Environmental Compliance, PPG Industries
