It was announced recently that, after eight years as President and CEO of the Flexible Packaging Association, Alison Keane will be leaving that position on August 1 to pursue a new opportunity.

Keane’s tenure at FPA and her involvement with Packaging Strategies extends well beyond the 19 months that I have been in this position. Still, I thought this would be an appropriate time to share my appreciation of Keane’s work at FPA and her willingness to make herself available whenever I had questions about the industry.
