Nerida Kelton MAIP has been nominated by her peers to take on the position of the ANZ delegate to the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) board.
Dr Carol Kilcullen-Lawrence FAIP, national president of the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), said Nerida Kelton was the perfect fit for the job.
"Nerida, as the executive director of the AIP, has been part of the AIP and the packaging industry now for almost two decades and is hands-on with all aspects of representing the AIP, its members, and the wider packaging industry,” she said.
“With her in-depth knowledge and significant contribution to the AIP educational programs, CPP program, Master course, Women’s Mentoring program, industry and government representation on the National Food Waste Strategy, development of the Save Food Packaging Award and the PIDA Awards, and management of industry-based educational events, Nerida is the key person to represent the interests of not only the AIP on the world stage, but also the greater packaging industry in Australia and New Zealand.”
“The AIP looks forward to continuing the fruitful collaboration between our institute and the WPO to achieve the best outcome for the whole industry from a global perspective."
The election of Kelton to the WPO board follows the recent shift of Pierre Pienaar to the position of president of the WPO.
