(October 6, 2011) Washington – Randall J. Doyal, CEO of Al-Corn Clean Fuel in Claremont, MN, has been re-elected Treasurer of the Renewable Fuels Association, the oldest and largest national trade association for American ethanol producers. 

“For the past 25 years, the American ethanol industry has grown to become a world leader in ethanol production in large part to the hard work of the RFA and its members,” said Doyal.  “Remaining the world’s leader requires that we aggressively engage policymakers, consumers and the general public. That means promoting smart, progressive ethanol policy, expanding the marketplace for ethanol fuels, and ensuring commercialization for new technologies and advanced biofuels. I am honored to help lead the RFA and the industry in changing how American fuels its future.”

Doyal has served on the Board of Directors of the RFA for 15 years, and has been in ethanol production since the early 1980s.  He was elected to a one-year term at the RFA’s annual membership meeting in Washington, DC this week.
