June 1922 was the official formation of the association we now know as the Cookware and Bakeware Alliance. 2022 marks a new name, a new look, and new member benefits to continue its long-standing mission of supplying the industry with standards, connections, and solutions.

We are currently in the midst of our year-long 100th Anniversary Celebration. The alliance wouldn’t be here today without the hard work of its members, board, and managing directors.

Today, host & current managing director of the CBA, Fran Groesbeck has a conversation with former managing director, Hugh Rushing.

Hugh shares more details of the history of the CBA as well as the inside perspective of his 25 years of experience in his leadership role with the CBA.

By understanding the CBA's history and hearing the events and perspectives that shaped the association, you can truly appreciate the longevity and look forward to how the future of the industry will evolve in a collaborative manner.
