Steve Tanner is the 2022 recipient of the American Cleaning Institute Elva Walker Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his contributions to the cleaning product supply chain and ACI. Tanner is chairman, president and CEO of Arylessence, a raw material supplier. He has served on the ACI board since 2010. He also serves as the chair of the board nominating committee, and the board liaison for the ACI Political Action Committee.
“Steve Tanner is a pillar within the fragrance industry and the cleaning product supply chain at-large,” said Melissa Hockstad, ACI President & CEO. “Smart, common sense, practical. All of these words capture what Steve brings to the table within ACI to help ensure we are addressing the needs of the broader value chain which we represent.”
ACI’s Distinguished Service Award is named in honor of the late Elva Walker Spillane, the former National Purity LLC chief executive who served on the association’s Board for 20 years.
The award, presented at the 2022 ACI Industry Convention, honors an individual for extensive or exceptional service to ACI, who promoted the growth and interests of the Institute and the industries it represents, and who exercised outstanding leadership within ACI.
