Knowledge, meaning the foresight to do something efficiently and then effectively. And lastly, support, by giving feedback to others when others don’t necessarily want to give it.” Voorhees said it was the teamwork of all employees that made his time at WestRock both worthwhile and suc- cessful. “Design, marketing, sales, operations would not be standing without the commitment and support of our team. I hope that I’ve given a small portion of all that you’ve given me, because I’ve been given so much. You can’t be successful without the support of others.” WestRock Chairman John Luke reflected on Voorhees’ ability to lead with both humanity and kindness. Luke said, “Steve is a wonderful leader, incredibly bright, but even more important to me was that he was a wonderful per- son, extremely humble, an excellent listener. He truly cares deeply about his people and the entire organization, and those attributes led Steve, as CEO, to make transformative change in our culture.” “I congratulate Mr. Voorhees on his significant accom- plishment. PPC has only given 19 Gair Awards during its 92-year history,” said Ben Markens, PPC President. “Only the most committed and exemplary individuals can receive the honor, and without a doubt, Mr. Voorhees fits the bill.”
