It's time to shake our sluggishness with leadership and decisive action

The 17th annual meeting of the Contract Packaging Association (CPA), held during February in Naples, FL, shows that despite the uncertainty of our economy, we are seeing momentum build for the organization.

We doubled our reserved-room block at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, and this year’s annual meeting theme, β€œRiding Out the Storm,” captured the attention of our members.

As our membership continues to grow, so too does the association’s cash reserves. The industry is starved for contract-packaging specific information, and it is CPA’s mission to be the industry’s recognized, independent authority and expert. Our β€œState of the Contract Packaging Industry Report” has motivated new members to join the association.

Three growth drivers

I am convinced our greatly increased annual meeting attendance is being driven by three fundamentals. First, the quality of the educational and networking opportunities are real. Second, attendees are overwhelmingly senior executives who look forward to the personal interactions with other successful executives. And third, social activities have become highlights, with an increasing number of spouses joining us each year.
