The SPC's Executive Committee
The Sustainable Packaging Coalition is excited to announce the newest elected members of our Executive Committee. Please join us in welcoming Nicole, Lynn, Andrew, Allison, and Brad!
The SPC Executive Committee members serve as representatives of member companies within the SPC. The EC’s role is to provide advice, act as ambassadors, and make recommendations on issues related to the SPC, including its goals, strategies, and projects. In 2022, the EC gained five new elected members to bring the complement of elected members to 12. We have raised the number of EC members to better represent our membership growth and the wide range of membership positions within the entire supply chain.
