Jeff and Janice Chalovich
Jeff and Janice Chalovich (WestRock) have been selected to serve as the honorary co-chairs of the 2016 ICPF Holiday Weekend in New York fundraiser.
In its ninth year, the New York event serves as ICPF’s annual fundraiser, where manufacturing and supplier executives, with their spouses or guests, can support the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation while socializing and enjoying the best of New York City during the holiday season.
Jeff and Janice have attended each of the past three annual New York events and invite ICPF supporters to gather for ICPF’s ninth Holiday Weekend in New York on December 9–11, 2016. This year’s participants will begin with a Friday evening reception at The View, which provides a 360-degree panorama of Manhattan’s skyline (sponsored by Pratt Industries). After free time on Saturday morning for brunch, holiday shopping, sightseeing, and museums, participants will attend the Saturday matinee performance of the Broadway hit An American in Paris, winner of four Tony awards, including Best New Musical (sponsored by MarquipWardUnited).
Executives and their spouses or guests later will participate in a Saturday evening reception and dinner at the renowned 21 Club (sponsored by Bobst North America). A special surprise that evening will be sponsored by Fosber America. There also will be the traditional ICPF surprise holiday gift for participants (sponsored by Equipment Finance Corporation and Gerber Innovations). Serenity Packaging also has contributed as a sponsor for the weekend.
In addition to participating in the event, Jeff and Janice are asking industry executives to invite clients and potential ICPF Corporate Partners, and also to consider rewarding key executives from their companies with this special weekend holiday function. “It is a special opportunity to be able to interact with fellow industry peers in a totally informal social environment. This ICPF holiday event is one of the most unique events in the industry. We look forward to it as both a special holiday getaway for the two of us, and a business social with longtime industry friends and new participants who become new friends. We encourage corrugated manufacturers and suppliers, and their spouses, to join us in supporting ICPF on December 9–11. Once you join us, you, too will want to return annually for each ICPF Holiday Weekend in New York.”
The Muse Hotel New York, a Kimpton boutique hotel in the Theater District, will serve as ICPF’s host hotel again this year. Hotel rooms go quickly during this special time of the season, so executives are encouraged to register and make their hotel reservations through ICPF as soon as possible to guarantee inclusion before the announcement of the event “sellout.” Visit www.careersincorrugated.org for more information and to download a registration form.
