RIMA names new executive director

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Manufacturers Association announced that Dave Chenevert, acting executive director, took over as executive director effective Jan. 1.

RIMA also announced last month it will hold a conference addressing the impact of marijuana in the manufacturing workplace, in light of last year’s vote to legalize recreational marijuana in Massachusetts. For this lecture, RIMA will provide a panel to focus on legal, human resource and workers’ compensation subjects.

Chenevert hopes to hold similar discussions once every six to eight weeks on topics relevant to how businesses run their operations.

Chenevert, who stepped up to lead the transition after former Executive Director Bill McCourt stepped down, has 46 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. •
