Bridging Gaps, Making Connections
Glenn Meeks
Members & Friends of the Western Pallet Association,
Warm greetings to you all. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how knowledge sharing and networking are core parts of the value we offer our members. As an association, we strive to offer events, both online and in-person, that foster learning, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving with our peers.
In a time where a lot of our interactions are digital, leveraging technology is essential. Online platforms, such as webinars and online meeting groups are the tools we use to ensure that our discussions, knowledge sharing, and collective efforts enrich each other’s lives.
WPA webinars are held quarterly and structured for larger audiences. They feature a subject matter expert talking about a topic that can affect the industry and your business.
Master Learning Groups (MLG) offer the personal interaction and connection we all value through a smaller group format and more informal discussion. The MLG’s ensure every member, regardless of location, has a voice and a seat at the table. The varied perspectives and experiences of these groups are the true bedrock of our association.
Moving forward, our collective insights and experiences will steer our digital initiatives, ensuring they are molded to cater to your diverse needs. I encourage you to engage, participate, and let your voices be heard.
Here's to fostering these robust connections, embracing our digital future, and collectively propelling the Western Pallet Association towards new heights together.
I extend heartfelt gratitude and an eager anticipation for our journey ahead, particularly in making new connections and new friends.
From the Friendliest Association in the West
