The National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA) announced the 2024/2025 Board of Directors during its annual leadership conference which was hosted recently in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
We’re proud to let you know that our Technical & Industry Affairs Director, John Dye, has been appointed to the Board.
Jeff Lewis, the newly appointed Board Chair, said: “I am deeply honoured to serve as NWPCA Chair for the upcoming term. Having served on the Board for over eight years, I have gained valuable insights into the diverse challenges faced by our members. Together, we have navigated these challenges and seized opportunities that have significantly influenced our industry’s trajectory.”
Lewis added: “Eight years ago, NWPCA adopted a strategic plan that prioritised the organisation to ‘achieve and sustain worldwide acceptance as the thought and information leader on wood packaging in unit-load solutions.’ Thanks to our current and past board members and executive leaders, we have achieved that and plan to chart a course for the next decade this year.
“I am excited about what lies ahead for this industry. By working together, sharing knowledge, and embracing innovation, we can overcome challenges and build a sustainable future for the wood packaging sector.”
John added: “It is an incredible honour to be elected by my industry peers, and I look forward to working with the rest of the Board, representing the industry in this role. It is so important as Jeff quite rightly points out, that we work and share information in these particularly challenging times due to the global economy, PPWR and EUDR affecting all manufacturers, traders, poolers, and our customers.”
