ACI COO Korie Traver named 2026 Association Trailblazer
Korie Traver, chief operating officer of the American Cleaning Institute, the Trade Association for the US cleaning product supply chain, has been named a 2026 Association Trailblazer by Association TRENDS. Korie has been with ACI for more than six years and previously served as the organisation's chief financial officer.
Honorees were chosen by the selection committee for their leadership skills and contributions to advancing associations. For more than 40 years, TRENDS has honoured those in the Association world who go above and beyond their work to advance the industry.
"Korie has been a steadfast and transformative leader for ACI," says Jennifer Abril, president & CEO of ACI. "From her tenure as CFO to her current role as COO - and even stepping in as co-interim CEO - she has brought strategic clarity, operational excellence and a deep sense of purpose to everything she does. This recognition is a fitting tribute to her remarkable leadership, and we couldn't be prouder to call her our colleague."
Korie and four other Association Trailblazer honorees will be recognised at Salute to Association Excellence, An Association TRENDS & CEO Update Event on March 5, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C.
