This was a wonderful opportunity to speak about our industry and promote our agenda. We are grateful to ISRI for organizing this meeting and for guaranteeing that PSI was included and well represented.

That being said, and knowing that there is strength in numbers, PSI works hard throughout the year to keep our membership growing.  The size of our chapter not only gives us more clout on the issues, but keeps the association strong and working better for you, our members.  For those of you planning to attend the Southeast Recycling Conference (SERC), March 7-10, we need your help.  PSI is sponsoring the cocktail reception in the hotel lobby Monday, March 8, after 9 p.m.  Please spread the word about the benefits of PSI membership, taking a minute or two in your private meetings to speak with non-members to help promote PSI.  Feel free to bring them to our booth, and if you require talking points, please visit our website, paperstockindustries.org and click the tab on the left labeled "Who we are".   Along with many other PSI board members and members at large, I will be in attendance and will be available at our booth to assist you.

Thank you for taking the time while you are in Destin to spread the word about the good work PSI and ISRI are doing on your behalf and for our industry.  I look forward to seeing you there and hope your travels are safe and enjoyable.
