JANUARY 2020
New WPA officers include Ralph Rupert (Treasurer), Beatrice Vasquez (President), Annie Montey (Past President) and Scott Gutierrez (Vice-President).
Montey stressed the importance of WPA member companies volunteering for these committees. She suggested that participation may provide a useful leadership development opportunity for younger employees in your organization. Speaking of herself as an “under-30,” she remarked how participation as a WPA board member and officer had been an invaluable experience in her own professional development. To find out more about
volunteering, please contact the WPA office.
The WPA welcomed Jorge Eroza, San Fernando Valley Pallets as well as Jay Van Loon, J&B Pallets, as new Board members, while Steve Mazza of Bettaway Pallet Systems was re-elected. Ryan Greenwood of Craine Point LLC and Tod Kintz, Pelican Bay Forest Products, were both re-elected as Associate Members to the Board.
