PLMA’s Executive Education Program will be conducted live and in person on the campus of Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia June 21-22 after two years as an online event.
The program, which is themed “Embrace the Change,” will focus on current industry challenges, such as supply chain delays, inflation, recession fears and others that may develop.
Presenters will include Jac Ross, Vice President for Own Brands at Sprouts Supermarkets, who will discuss innovations in products and packaging; John Evans, Director of Private Brands, GM, HBC, and Non-Foods at Weis Markets, who will examine the role of the retailer in the private label industry; and Kelly McGolrick, Vice President of Private Label Sales Development for Lassonde Pappas & Company, who will address the role of the manufacturer.
Since the program’s inception in 2001, more than 2,000 men and women from all sectors of the industry have graduated. Classes are perfect for new hires, those who built their careers working for national brands, or any professional in the field who is looking to refresh their knowledge, broaden focus and sharpen the ability to think and interact strategically.
