Jay Jaskiewicz, previously director of dairy manufacturing for Publix Super Markets, Inc., has stepped down as chairman of the International Ice Cream Association. "We will miss Jay's steady leadership, but hope to see him get involved with the Milk Industry Foundation once he gets settled at Upstate Niagara," said Connie Tipton, IDFA president and CEO. Jaskiewicz is now director of operations for Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Inc.

Brian Perry, executive vice president/vice chairman of Perry's Ice Cream Company, Inc. and IICA vice chairman, has agreed to serve the balance of Jaskiewicz's term.
