even more courses, providing them with best prac- tices and solutions to industry challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. The very popular Ask the Ex- perts one-on-one consulting sessions will also be ex- panding to new verticals.” The committee also approved the initiative to cre- ate strong, new partnerships with regional and local organizations whose members include professionals in manufacturing, converting, packaging, plastics, coatings, and textiles/nonwovens industries.
