He serves on the Orange County chapter's Executive Committee and is its representative to the TCA Board of Governors. He also is a member of the Board of Directors of Senomyx, Inc., a public biotech company based in San Diego, California. Mr. Block retired as the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. in December 2003, having served in that position for 12 years. He has 36 years of broad legal, management and executive experience at Fortune 500 corporations and a major New York law firm. He has previously served on the Boards of Directors of both private and public companies and on the Board of Governors of several industry trade associations and as the President of one of those groups.
