Committee Projects

The A&F committee builds strategic relationships with industry organizations, education partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders whose work aligns with the association’s priorities. 

These alliances expand WPA’s reach, create opportunities for collaboration, and connect members with new knowledge, resources, and industry relationships. The committee identifies and develops partnerships that support WPA’s strategic plan and strengthen the broader wood packaging industry. 

The A&F committee develops practical fundraising strategies to support WPA programs, initiatives, and long-term priorities. 

This work includes identifying funding opportunities, evaluating potential campaigns, and building sustainable approaches that align financial support with measurable outcomes. The objective is not simply to raise money, but to ensure WPA has the resources needed to advance education, industry development, member value, and strategic growth. 

The A&F Committee creates sponsorship opportunities that provide visibility and value for participating companies while supporting association programs and events. 

The committee works to develop clear, professional sponsorship packages aligned with WPA’s audience, strategic priorities, and member experience. Each opportunity is structured to strengthen industry engagement, support important initiatives, and build lasting relationships with organizations invested in the future of the industry.
