AICC Celebrates Members’ Success: Milestone Program & Safety Awards AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, is accept- ing submissions to the Member Milestone Program and the Independent Safe Shop Awards. The Member Milestone Program is an annual opportunity to recognize member companies, boxmakers, and suppliers, celebrating signif- icant anniversaries. Members in good standing that wish to be included in this recognition should be celebrating an anniversary in 2020 or 2021 and will need to provide a 2-3-minute vid- eo presentation featuring the history of their company and describing their growth. The members that submit quali- fying videos by the deadline will be recognized by AICC. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 26, 2021. Additionally, each year AICC recognizes member com- panies for outstanding plant safety through the Indepen- dent Safe Shop Awards. Participation in the Independent Safe Shop Awards generates greater awareness, enthusi- asm, and pride for the safety accomplishments companies and their employees have achieved. It also allows compa- nies to showcase their efforts and recognize the individu- als responsible for the good safety record. Visit www.AICCbox.org/Meeting for details. Due to the 2020 Spring Meeting cancellation, companies that sub- mitted and qualified in 2020 will be recognized in 2021.
