His work brought him into contact with a wide circle of senators and representatives and their staff members. That exposure paid dividends in 1983-84, in facing off against one of the largest corporations in the world. He used his organizational skills to form and lead a coalition of four companies, later joined by six others, to do extended battle with a giant of the oil industry, with the future of several corporate facilities, including PPG Industries’ largest one, at stake.
A journalism graduate of The George Washington University in Washington, DC, Jaffee has worked for The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and United Press. He was an industrial editor for IBM and head of environmental quality information for a major trade association before joining PPG Industries.
Parents of three and grandparents of five, Jaffee and his wife Sharon live in Springfield, VA.view less
