The Packaging Education Forum (Arlington, VA) will induct five career packaging professionals into the Packaging Hall of Fame during its annual Packaging Leadership Awards ceremonies. This year’s inductees are Richard C. Botsch (posthumously), Kenneth J. Gollmann, Thomas E. Hogue, Norman Nieder, and Charles E. Perrin, CPP.

The Class of 2002 Packaging Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized during the Packaging Education Forum’s Packaging Leadership Awards ceremonies on November 5th beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the Vista Ballroom at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. The awards reception and buffet dinner will be held in conjunction with Pack Expo International, November 3-7, 2002 at McCormick Place.

“PEF members voted to induct these five highly capable, dedicated packaging professionals into the Packaging Hall of Fame based on their professional achievement and commitment to packaging education,” commented Ben Miyares, president of the Packaging Education Forum. “The entire packaging industry will honor their career efforts at the PEF Packaging Leadership Awards ceremonies in November.”

The inductees, chosen by the PEF membership from a field of nine nominees this year, were selected because they:

1. Showed an active interest and involvement in expanding packaging knowledge, supported formal packaging education, and furthered an understanding of packaging’s contributions to society.

2. Contributed significantly to the technical, marketing, or economic advancement of the packaging field.

3. Demonstrated leadership within their organizations, communities, and the packaging business at large.
