Packaging Hall of Fame inductees chosen
Five packaging professionals have been chosen as the 2009 inductees into the Packaging Hall of Fame. Dwight Schmidt, Jim Scott, Mark Jacobson, Pat Helm and Dennis Young will be recognized at a reception to be held at the Las Vegas Hilton on Monday, October 5, during PACK EXPO 2009.
Every year since 1971, a select number of career packaging professionals have been inducted into the Packaging Hall of Fame in recognition of significant contributions made to the advancement of packaging technology. PMMI’s Education & Training Foundation serves as the coordinating organization for this tradition of honoring packaging leadership.
Ben Miyares, chairman of the Packaging Hall of Fame commission, says: “Induction recognizes those individuals who truly have been, or continue to be, remarkable packaging professionals, who have made significant contributions to the practice and understanding of packaging’s significant role in our society. Inevitably those contributions go beyond service to one’s employers and employees, and touch, in some way, the broader packaging community, and society as a whole.”
