The Wisconsin Paper Council (WPC) welcomed a record number of attendees to its 2025 Annual Meeting on June 24 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Industry leaders, policymakers, and partners gathered for a day focused on the future of Wisconsin’s paper and forest products sector.
The day began with a Board of Directors meeting, followed by remarks from Senator Jamie Wall (D–Green Bay), who spoke about the paper industry’s role in Wisconsin’s economy.
A highlight of the morning was a visit from AF&PA President & CEO Heidi Brock, who provided updates on federal initiatives and emphasized the organization’s collaboration with WPC.
