John Christie Recognized as a CI Honorary Member
One of the highest honors The Chlorine Institute can bestow on an individual is recognizing them as an honorary member. In the Institute’s 101-year history, only 13 individuals have been awarded Honorary Memberships. This designation is intended to recognize the long-term commitment to CI and its mission. The recipients are put forth by the Institute’s nomination committee and are elected by the CI Board of Directors.
At the 2025 Annual Meeting, John Christie, who was the Vice President of Operations at ERCO Worldwide and served 43 years with the company, was recognized as a CI honorary member. For many years John served on the board where he served as vice chair and chair for two years each. With his commitment to ERCO employees, John contributed greatly to the work of CI on numerous issue teams and task groups. John’s leadership and tireless work has not only helped to advance CI’s mission, but his passion and kindness continue to set a remarkable example for us all. From all of us at CI, we congratulate John on this well-deserved recognition.
