paths, with lessons that transcend from leading teams in the military to leading teams in our industry. Jeff Rosensweig, Director of the John Robson Program for Business, Public Policy, and Government at Goizueta Business School of Emory University, will be back to excite the PPC audience. Rosensweig will update attendees on the latest economic indicators and how they will affect the paperboard packaging market this coming year. Rounding out the rest of the conference will be a va- riety of dynamic committee meetings, and sessions for communities of interest, including the Women’s Leader- ship Council and New Generation Leaders, that will look at the supply chain disruptions and demographics affecting these changes. “We look forward to welcoming our members to the heart of Texas where they’ll network with our executive ranks and gather new ideas to strengthen and grow their businesses,” said Markens. “Members will also see the passing of the gavel to our new Board president, Laura Brody of Burt Rigid Box, as she lays the groundwork for the future of our association. Attendees will walk away with valuable insights into the latest converting solutions, advice from our expert speakers, and plenty of opportuni- ties to network and grow with a welcoming community of industry peers.” Visit paperbox.org/ events to register.
