Louis C Pryor

Mr. Pryor retired in 1985 after 33 years with the duPont Co., much of it outside the U.S. His multinational involvement sprang from his birth in Argentina, formative years in England, and WWII service in three separate theaters of operations. With duPont he held senior executive positions in marketing, manufacturing, mining, applied research and corporate administration. His foreign assignments included Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Iran, New Zealand and Nigeria. He was a director and officer of a number of American Chambers of Commerce abroad; primary concerns were free trade and also, in the case of Australia, industrial relations issues. He helped forge an alliance of key business and union leaders that thwarted a Soviet-orchestrated strategy to influence Australian trade unions. He is a former member of the Palm Beach Public Employee Relations Commission. Mr. Pryor is a graduate in business administration from the Henley Business School, University of Reading, England.
