Welcome Back

The 2007 golf tournament was successful netting more than $4,500 to support WNY Chapter initiatives and the RIT Packaging Science program. National membership continues to grow and WNY membership remains strong."

A Fresh Look & New Opportunities

The WNY Chapter has just re-launched it's website! The new site looks more like the National site, includes additional content (including past Newsletters & Board Minutes and now provides an opportunity for you and/or your organization to advertise with IoPP. Ad space is available on the website and there's also an opportunity to be 1 of 3 official sponsors of this bi-weekly newsletter! (See sample ads to the right.) We hope that these enhancements make for a more enjoyable online experience and also helps bring you recognition and more business. For more information, please visit www.wnyiopp.org/advertising.html.

Chapter Points Help Us Win

To promote and encourage each chapter's vitality and growth, IoPP sponsors the "Chapter of the Year" award. Our WNY Chapter has won this award in the past and flags are on display within RIT's Packaging School. This is an opportunity for you & your company to receive recognition for activities in support of the packaging profession. We need your help to identify the activities that are aligned with the goals of IoPP. Points are awarded for certain professional activities, but they are difficult to monitor. You can help by posting your activities on our web site; visit www.wnyiopp.org/points.html. We thank you in advance for your help. May this be another winning year for our chapter!
