The Emerg- ing Leader Vice Chair Workshop is a favorite among the next generation of leaders repre- sented in the AICC Emerging Leader Program. “I cannot wait to host the EL’s Vice-Chair Workshop,” said Harris. “The theme is ‘Take Charge of Your Career,’ which I feel is a perfect theme for this group of young professionals. I am expecting everyone to have a great time networking, touring three plants, getting pro- fessional headshots done, and learning from AICC’s very own Taryn Pyle, and of course, from one another.” This year attendees will have the opportu- nity to tour American Carton Company, Liber- ty Carton, and Harris Packaging. Additionally, participants will work with AICC Director of Training & Education Taryn Pyle to create a three-year career plan. ELs will identify their career goals, roadblocks they may face, and how to overcome them. This event is open only to AICC Emerging Leaders, and space is limited. The AICC Emerging Leader Program is an exclusive series of training, networking, and leadership opportunities for ambitious young professionals in the paper and packaging industry. Through the Program, young pro- fessionals who are ready to commit to their professional development have the chance to grow into proven, reliable future leaders in their company and in the industry.
