PMMI The Packaging & Processing Hall of Fame will wel- come five new members as its 45th class at PACK EXPO International 2018, October 14–17, Mc- Cormick Place, Chicago, according to Hall of Fame coordinator and show producer PMMI, The Associa- tion for Packaging and Processing Technologies. This year’s inductees are Tim Bohrer, Keith Pearson, Michael Okoroafor, Susan Selke and ChuckYuska. The Packaging & Processing Hall of Fame recog- nizes career packaging and processing professionals for their significant contributions to the industry and education. An annual event since 1971, the Hall of Fame Commission took a sabbatical after the 2014 class to look internally at its process and ensure it in- cluded an accurate representation of all deserving nominees.With its return this year at PACK EXPO In- ternational, processing professionals were officially eligible for the first time. A 45-year veteran of the packaging industry, Timo- thy Bohrer, Pac Advantage Consulting LLC, is the pri- mary inventor on 15 issued patents. Keith Pearson has experience in manufacturing and converting in the fields of corrugated, carton and print, cores and tubes and multiwall sacks. During his career, he worked in the leadership of the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) for more than 15 years, serving as the first African President of WPO from 2006–2011 and as General Secretary from 2012–2017. Michael Okoroafor has 40 patents include everyday items like Coca-Cola’s PlantBottle, Heinz’s Dip N’ Squeeze condiment pack and McCormick & Compa- ny, Inc.’s “First Choice” freshness pack. He also helped develop the flexible film packaging material essential to Coca-Cola’s Freestyle carbonated soft drink dis- pensing system. The current Director of the Michigan State Uni- versity School of Packaging, Susan Selke’s 35 years as a packaging educator includes research on pack- aging sustainability long before sustainability was a buzzword. For nearly three decades, Chuck Yuska served as President and CEO of PMMI, growing the associa- tion’s membership from less than 300 U.S. mem- bers to nearly 850 global members. During his tenure, the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows grew from one show to six, with the trade show success allowing PMMI to raise money for schol- arships, education, workforce development and industry relations.
