Update on Paperboard Packaging Council
November 1, 2008 By: Packaging online staff Paperboard PackagingWhat are you most excited about at PPC?
KF: Everything is new, so everything has some excitement in it. Part of what I really like at PPC is that more I learn about the organization and get to know the membership, the more potential I see for what we can accomplish together. I am also really enjoying learning and working on sustainability issues.
What's one thing PPC members should know about you?
KF: That I am here to help. I'd probably be most helpful with any marketing or communications issues, like helping distribute a press release, but they have really created a team attitude here in Springfield. Our motto is along the lines of "If I can't answer your question, I'll find someone who can."
What has been your most memorable PPC moment, so far?
KF: There have been several — but I guess I'll choose my introduction to Miss Folding Paper Box. Just after we had moved into our Springfield offices, I was going through a box of old PPC photos that had been shipped up from our office in Virginia. And there I found a picture of a very well dressed Wyoma Winters emerging from a life-size paper box. The caption named her Miss Folding Paper Box 1952. Questions abound, but I'm don't think we're bringing that contest back anytime soon.
