PPC Members,

As your new President, I’m truly honored to serve the PPC community for the 2026 term. I’m looking forward to an exciting and successful year ahead, and I want to sincerely thank everyone for their support—it truly means a lot to me.

A special shout-out to Iris Thomas for an outstanding year as our 2025 President. Your leadership and dedication set a high bar, and we’re grateful for all you’ve done.

It was great seeing everyone in Denver and meeting so many new members. I hope you all enjoyed our Keynote Speaker Jim Craig. The Technical Education Committee—using valuable input from the TEC Breakfast Meeting—along with the Communications Committee, Long Range Planning Committee, and the Board of Directors, are working tirelessly to secure top-tier speakers and relevant topics. Our goal is to ensure the Spring Meeting 2026 delivers the most useful and forward-thinking technical content for the petroleum packaging industry.

I’m also proud to share the results of our Silent Auction in support of the Rocky Mountain Fisher House Foundation. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $4,200—an incredible achievement for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
