U.S. - Arauco North America President Kelly Shotbolt has been named the first recipient of the Brock R. Landry Industry Leadership Award.

The award, given by the Composite Panel Association (CPA), honors individuals for their outstanding contributions and leadership to the composite panel industry.

The association created the annual award in recognition of CPA counsel Brock R. Landry, who retired last year after more than 40 years of significant contributions in service to the North American composite panel industry. The recipient of the award was selected by CPA members.

Shotbolt was presented with the award during the CPA’s Fall Meeting, held in conjunction with the Material, Technology and Design Symposium in Savannah, Georgia that took place October 1-3.
