Letter from the President:
I hope everyone had as fun filled a summer as I did. As much as I enjoyed it, I must admit I do miss the monthly MN Chapter meetings, they are such a great opportunity to learn about new technologies, AND to network with some of the best packaging professionals. We are so lucky to have such a diverse and active chapter.
Speaking of active our Program Chair Matt Murphy has outdone himself again. He has an incredible line up of tours, speakers and programs. Our
September kick off meeting will be hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Please check out our chapter website for details and a listing of
upcoming meetings. Mark the dates for MidPak October 21 – 22, 2009 on you calendar now.
We did have some changes to the board due to job obligations. Our new Secretary is Greg Johnson. We are also looking for someone to fill the remaining year of the Treasurer’s term. If you are interested please contact myself or Kip Jackson:
I look forward to networking with you at one of our meetings.
