For the past 100 years, committees of volunteer members have determined and implemented AATCC activities in support of a sustainable textile industry. AATCC thanks all those who help further the objectives of increasing knowledge, encouraging research, and establishing channels for the interchange of information. The association is especially grateful for the leadership of board members and committee chairs completing their terms in 2020. All outgoing chairs will be recognized at the Spring AATCC committee meetings May 11-13, 2021.
