On the evening of April 11, during the ICPF presentation at the Fibre Box Association (FBA) annual meeting in Laguna Beach, California, Hood Container Corp. President and Chief Operating Officer Charles E. Hodges was inducted as the 26th member of ICPF’s Circle of Distinguished Leaders. Through the assistance provided to ICPF by Hood Container Corp. and Hodges’ family, friends, and former fellow employees, the lifetime recognition was received as a total surprise to Hodges.
The Circle of Distinguished Leaders honors exceptional visionaries whose energy and talent have moved the industry forward in remarkable ways. These leaders are recognized for demonstrating a strong commitment to the continuing success of the global corrugated packaging industry.
Hodges was nominated for induction by ICPF board members as well as by corrugated packaging firms, AICC, and FBA, which made donations in his name to support ICPF operations.
Richard Flaherty is president of the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation.
