I’m excited to join the BPI team and I look forward to sharing my passion for standards and experience with ANSI to strengthen our mission.”
“We’re proud to welcome Dani Freeman to BPI,” says Larry Zarker, CEO of BPI. “We were very fortunate to have Sue Carson in this role for many years, and she left a tremendous legacy at BPI.

We look forward with anticipation to see how she, Kevin Powell, and the standards team will guide BPI standards into the future.”
