- 15 - Pallet Foundation Donor Recognition Pallet Foundation Trustees JORDAN PILAND Atlas Pallets/A Division of Williamsburg Millwork Corp. With the fantastic support and growth of the Pallet Foundation, we are now in a position to help fund educational and research projects critical to NWPCA members and the pallet industry in general. These are projects that as individual companies we could not afford to fund but through the generosity of those giving to the Pallet Foundation, we now have the resources to make a difference. We anticipate the Pallet Foundation continuing to grow and providing the support our industry needs. BOB WENNER Pallet Service Corporation The Pallet Foundation is a resource to promote and educate pallet users from a unified wooden pallet industry. Along with promoting all the wonderful benefits of using wood vs. other materials, we have such a great story to tell and, up until the last several years, never had the funds or peoplepower to get our message out. The Nature's Packaging program, which is promoted and funded by all three of the North American pallet associations (CWPCA, WPA and NWPCA), is a great example of collaboration. We are much stronger when we all work towards the same goals for our industry. Future projects supported by The Pallet Foundation will be reviewed by the foundation trustees.
