Thought Leader Interview: Marjorie Pond
Marjorie Pond Continues to Shred Expectations
The paper industry is ever-changing and the only way to keep up with such incremental changes is to have the ability to adapt to them. Marjorie Pond, the vice president of sales for commercial print in North America at Neenah Paper, possesses that ability and has thus been awarded the Stanley O. Styles Industry Excellence Award. Recognizing how the industry is moving and shaking, and then adhering to the rhythm but staying innovative to keep on beat is precisely what Marjorie does in an industry she loves.
To celebrate the power of putting pen to paper, the Paper and Packaging Board (P+PB) launched the Letters of Peace multi-faceted campaign on November 1. The campaign features five messengers, and two experts, sharing their favorite stories of peace and healing by putting pen to paper. The videos have been viewed over 3.6M times and the campaign was recently featured on US Weekly's Magazine and tweeted to their 2M followers. Read more about the Letters of Peace campaign in the P+PB December newsletter. Click here for more information about the Paper and Packaging Board and the How Life Unfolds campaign.
