November 2021 Letter from the ICPA Director, Jennifer Towner

Dear association members and supporters,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am certainly grateful to be working for this association and its great membership.
 
Last month I had the opportunity to visit one of our supplier members, Interplastic Corporation, in the Minneapolis area. A sincere thank you to Steve Wetzel, Michelle Allshouse, Jim Cecere, Nataliya Engele, and Scott Crump for welcoming me, and demonstrating and explaining the processes and products at their facilities. I was treated to tours of their gel coat lab as well as the resin lab and manufacturing plant. It was a great experience and I learned a great deal.
 
This ICPA membership year is off to a great start! Several new members, POLYCON 2021 was a success, our Live Grout Free campaign is getting a big boost, and we are excited about the networking event planned for April 2022 in Atlanta.
 
I wish everyone a joyous holiday season!
 
Best regards,
 
Jennifer Towner
ICPA Executive Director
