This time in our history is unprecedented and there is a great deal of uncertainty.

My thoughts and prayers are for all those in our industry and their families whose lives are being changed by the Covid-19 virus.

Several of our members are shuttered because of the circumstances surrounding the virus. Some because they want to adhere to strict health measures to protect their employees and reduce the spread, and some because they have been forced to shut down by issues beyond their control.

As the director, along with the ICPA board and other members, we are working to have a variety of resources available, should you need it, to assist in this difficult and often rapidly changing time so that you can make decisions that are best for you.

As an example, members asked for help with getting a better understanding of the regulations and the provisions of the Care Act.  Dirk DeVuyst gave an interview on Cast Polymer Radio to give a breakdown of the Act and explain how it could help smaller businesses.

Many links and documents have been emailed out to you as members already, and will soon be found on the ICPA website on the SAFE PLANT page. We will continue to post updated resources on website and our Facebook page.

My best wishes to you and your family. I hope that all of you remain safe and healthy.

Please feel free to contact me if the ICPA can be of assistance to you.

Moving Forward with Forward Thinking! Even in challenging times….

Best regards,

Jennifer Towner

ICPA Executive Director
