Those who complete the survey receive a complete, final report for FREE! Be sure to complete the survey by March 24, 2021.

IoPP thanks you for your valuable input!

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our brand-new IoPP Member Referral Program! This new program offers you exciting new member benefits via reward points for each new member you refer. We look forward to seeing you take advantage of the Member Referral Program and are excited about the potential benefit of growing membership for the Institute.

Here’s how it works…

IoPP Members in good standing (that’s you!) earn points based on the member type that joins. The individual who joins MUST identify YOU (the member who referred them) in the “How did you learn about IoPP?” field on the membership application in order for you to earn the points toward the membership referral program. 

Points System:

• 1 point/Regular member referred
• 1.5 points/Premium member referred
• 2 points/Elite member referred

Members earn points on a continuous basis and points are accumulative. Your points will not expire unless you drop or cancel your IoPP membership.

Once you refer people to become members of IoPP, you can redeem your points! To redeem your points, submit a request to info@iopp.org.

Points needed per reward:

• Upgrade from Regular to Premium Membership: 1 point
• Upgrade from Premium to Elite Membership: 2 points
• Upgrade from Regular to Elite Membership: 3 points
• One Year of Free Membership: 6 points
  • One-year free membership is for a total of 12 months from the member’s anniversary date and will extend the member’s current membership expiration date by one year

Don’t wait – take advantage of this amazing new perk today and start referring people in your professional packaging network to join IoPP!

John's wife, Deb, has requested a  virtual “Zoom Irish Wake” for John on Friday, May 29th, starting at 5:00 pm Eastern. The format will be people telling the story of how they met John and then share one story of working with him. After that it will hopefully become a truly virtual Irish wake.

Every two years PMMI’s Packaging & Processing Hall of Fame commission convenes to choose industry professionals for induction into the Hall of Fame. This fall, PMMI will recognize the Class of 2020. You’re invited to nominate a leader from your company or community. 

Inductees are chosen based on their industry dedication, demonstrated by expanding industry knowledge, volunteer leadership or contributions that have advanced packaging and processing. The Hall of Fame is the highest honor our industry bestows on packaging and processing professionals. 

Take some time to identify a leader and submit his or her name for consideration; there is no cost to do so, and our form will guide you easily through the process.
