Dow AgroSciences' Morris named U.S. government and public affairs leader

Dave Morris, commercial leader for the Dow AgroSciences U.S. Urban Pest Management and global leader for the Sentricon System and Dithiopyr herbicides, has been named U.S. government and public affairs leader for Dow AgroSciences.

In the newly created position, Morris will align and leverage government and public affairs efforts in the United States with the corporation’s global government and public affairs team. He will lead a team of federal and state government and public affairs managers working on issues across the portfolio.

Morris continues to report to Stan Howell, vice president for the company’s North America commercial unit. Greater focus in government and public affairs is necessary, Howell said, to help continue the rapid growth of Dow AgroSciences as it develops and brings new technologies to its customers in agriculture and the specialties markets, as well as defending its freedom to operate with current products in existing market segments.
