SNAC International Board announces CEO succession plan
Avery to retire in April 2022; Cochran appointed next president & CEO.
Concluding a five-month competitive search, SNAC International’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the appointment of Christine Cochran as SNAC’s next president & CEO. Cochran will replace Elizabeth Avery, who previously shared her plans with the Board to retire following the conclusion of SNX, the association’s new education and collaboration forum, March 27–29, 2022.
“Christine Cochran is a dynamic leader of membership organizations with a deep knowledge of nutrition and a proven track record in government advocacy, coalition-building, and strategic planning,” said Mike Harper, chief financial officer of Rudolph Foods and chairman of the SNAC CEO Search Committee. “We believe Christine is the right leader to build on the momentum established by Elizabeth’s highly successful tenure.”
