Cultivating Connections:
The Heart of WPA

Members and Friends of the Western Pallet Association,
As we embrace the brisk pace of our industry, it's my pleasure to invite you to deepen your roots within our community through active engagement. The WPA's array of committees, Master Learning Groups, and webinars isn't just a list of activities, it’s a basket of opportunities to create meaningful connections.
Joining a WPA committee is not just about steering the course of the WPA; it's about teaming up with your fellow members and peers to set the guideposts for the future of the WPA. WPA committees are focused on these 4 important areas:
Revenue Streams – Building new ways to generate new revenue for the association.
Resource – Innovation meets information through the promotion of the association and its resources to the world.
State Advocacy – Monitoring the legislation and policy of local and state governments to ensure the western pallet industry is represented fairly and accurately.
Member Engagement – Promote the growth of the association and its members by connecting them to the wonderful programs and opportunities offered by the WPA.
The Master Learning Groups are a roundtable where the industry's challenges are shared and discussed with each other as peers and professionals. Here, relationships are a support network that spurs personal and collective growth.
WPA webinars are the portal through which we investigate and share industry knowledge into our practice. Engaging here means staying ahead of the curve, together.
In the center of these interactions, relationships flourish. By participating, you’re not just building a network but enriching a community that thrives on the strength of its connections.
I encourage each of you to take part and enrich our association with your unique perspectives. Let's engage, learn, and lead in unison, because every interaction plants the seed for a stronger WPA.
