The Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) promoted Laura Mowad Geib as its new director of meetings and conventions. Geib, who was promoted from her position as manager of the Product Ingredient Review(PIR) – a CSPA affiliate program, will replace Ann Wheeler, who recently retired following 23 years of service.

Geib’s responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the planning, execution and follow up of all CSPA meetings, including the association’s premier events: the Annual Meeting, Mid-Year Meeting and Innovention. She also will be responsible for coordinating a wide range of nationwide educational workshops, seminars and webinars offered by the Association, and coordinating CSPA’s sponsorship opportunities.

“We are confident that CSPA and its members are in good hands with Laura,” said Phil Klein, executive vice president, legislative and public affairs for CSPA. “Laura is a true talent with a proven track record of managing multiple details as she did in her work with the PIR program. She has the capability to continue the great work established by her predecessor, Ann Wheeler who has done an outstanding job over the years, having directed more than 65 major meetings for CSPA. Ann will be missed.”

During her work with the PIR program, Geib was responsible for scheduling and coordinating task force meetings; managing multiple companies through various issues pertaining to regulatory guidelines and processes for federal, state and international agencies; developing strategies to maximize the efficiency of 43 task forces and joint ventures; and overseeing accounts receivables. She has worked with CSPA and PIR since 2009.

Geib received her Bachelors of Science in Management from St. Francis University. She currently resides with her family in Arlington, VA.
