AICC Continues Weekly COVID-19 Teleconferences

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, after re- ceiving several inquiries from members around the U.S. in response to the most recent developments in the coro- navirus/COVID-19 pandemic, hosted its first weekly video- conference on Friday, March 20. Nearly 400 companies participated. Several members shared the measures they are taking to keep their employees safe, their customers informed, and their operations continuing. Most of the hour-long forum was filled with peer to peer questions and answers. A recording of the videoconference and a copy of the typed “chat” that accompanied it are available at www. AICCbox.org/COVID . AICC held national audio and video conference calls on two subsequent Friday afternoons. The series is scheduled to end with the call on Friday, April 10, at 2:00 p.m. EST. During the calls, AICC presents the latest updates, pres- ents a forum sharing other box makers’ and suppliers’ ef- forts to mitigate the risks in their own companies, provides news on what may be happening in various jurisdictions around the country, and provides training opportunities for those who are not able to travel due to restrictions. Questions about the calls and free online education can be directed to Taryn Pyle at tpyle@aiccbox.org.
