The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), the leading advocate and voice for the growing U.S. flexible packaging industry, announces that its long-serving President & CEO, Alison Keane, will step down from her position on August 1, 2024. The organization announced at the same time that it is initiating a search to identify a new leader.
Founded in 1950, FPA's mission is to amplify the voices of converters, suppliers, trade press professionals, and academics, leading to effective advocacy, unique educational offerings, outstanding networking opportunities, and real growth for our members.
"It's been an honor to lead FPA through 8-years of growth and evolution," says Keane. "During that period, we have been able to expand how FPA helps its members. No organization offers the level of support that FPA offers the flexible packaging industry--one of the fastest growing segments in packaging and provides a wealth of information to its members through focused programs and services. I am very grateful to have been a part of those efforts throughout the last 8 years." Keane attributes the success and growth of the association to strong, passionate leaders, talented staff, and members who actively participate. "This leadership will continue to drive the association and the industry forward."
