AICC Chairman Jay Carman (CONT’D FROM PAGE 18)
Q: You’ve been AICC Chairman since the fall meeting. What have been some of the highlights thus far? A: I’ve enjoyed my experience as AICC Chairman over the past six months. One of my first highlights was when I at- tended the Folding Carton & Rigid Box dinner at the Toron- to meeting. It was great to have the opportunity to meet those members who are an important part of our associa- tion. Another highlight I experienced was the West Coast Golf Outing in October. I met a lot of new AICC members I may not have ever met had I not attended this outing. The AICC Canada holiday party was another great ex- perience. I admire that AICC Canada has still carried on the tradition of having this party every year. I enjoyed the casino tables and the Elvis impersonator, as well. Q: What have you learned as AICC Chairman that you didn’t know before? A: I never realized how much the members of the AICC respected and supported the Chairman posi- tion and AICC as a whole.
enabled him to apply what he learned at the meetings to help his company grow. The AICC exposed him to new ways of doing business. He saw the value of purchasing modern machinery and how to improve his company’s effi- ciencies, capabilities and gain an edge in the marketplace. Q: Jay, what is your theme as chairman? A: My theme as Chairman of the AICC is “Growth Mindset.” StandFast became a second-generation business when my three brothers joined me in the company. Our involve- ment in the AICC brought us the exposure of many new ideas and helped make StandFast a learning organization that was ready and open to change and growth. It enabled us to get out of our comfort zone and “fixed mindset” and take the risks that would move us forward in the market- place...just as our father did.
Q: What will you be doing now that the 2020 Spring Meeting is cancelled? A: My future plans are to continue visiting independent plants, and attending regional summits and some international meetings, assuming the travel restrictions are relaxed. Hopefully, we can overcome this unprece- dented public health crisis very soon. A.G. Stacker Adds Greene Group As New Agent Weyers Cave, Virginia based A.G.
