PPC: Communication (CONT’D FROM PAGE 12)
“It’s nice to realize that PPC members share many of the same struggles and ideas. I think having those dialogues keeps the fire lit. "It keeps you striving for more because we cheer each other on when we’re together in those meetings. We can really recognize and applaud work that is well done, even by a competitor,” Pat acknowledges. Empowering The Future: PPC's Commitment To Growth Pat recognizes PPC’s commitment to the next genera- tion with dynamic programs that foster continued interest in our industry like the Student Design Challenge, saying, “The Student Design Challenge is a valuable way to get paperboard in the hands of college students who may not otherwise have considered it a path. It’s a great way to en- gage them early in their lives and careers.” As the leading association for paperboard packaging converters and suppliers, PPC believes in the strength and alliances that arise from collaboration and common inter- est. By providing enriching networking opportunities that foster professional development and industry growth, we help cultivate strong connections like the one shared by Bill and Pat. PPC nurtures its long-standing members and the next generation of paperboard packaging professionals, exem- plifying the true power of collaboration.

The pair continues nurturing their friendship, attending PPC events together, and reminiscing about old times while appreciating their enduring bond. PPC: Fostering Connections & Industry Advancement For Bill, PPC represents more than a professional asso- ciation. It symbolizes the true power of connection, help- ing individuals forge friendships, foster valuable business relationships, grow together, and advance the industry. Through PPC, Bill has built a network of individuals he deeply respects. “Meeting Pat was such a great experience at a forma- tive time in my life. It’s been a real pleasure to reconnect after all these years and to see him so successful in his career,” Bill expresses. “PPC continues to allow me to form industry connec- tions and maintain career-long relationships with people I respect.” Pat echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the efforts and solutions shared among PPC members. PPC meetings are a unique arena of support and encouragement where members applaud each other’s achievements, regardless of affiliation.
