Vice President, Jim shared in the overall management of the association and was directly responsible for the Envi- ronmental, Human Resources, and Government Relations committees. He was instrumental in the development of the Corrugated Packaging Council (CPC), a precursor to the Corrugated Packaging Alliance that championed the benefits of corrugated packaging and the need to recycle boxes. He worked with the CPC to develop the corrugated recycles symbol that can be found on the bottom of most boxes today. Jim made lasting contributions to many of the programs FBA still offers to their members today and he will be dear- ly missed by his friends at FBA. Read the full obituary at friedrichsfh.com .
