The Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee (MDPTC) of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) is looking to acknowledge a committed leader in the medical device packaging community with its annual MDPTC Honor Award.

• What specific career contributions are exemplary?
• How did the nominee’s work align with MDPTC Mission Statement?

MDPTC Honor Award Program Leader David DiVaccaro, principal of DiVaccaro Consulting Group LLC, explains the process of selecting the winner: “A volunteer IoPP member subcommittee created the original evaluation questions and criteria for how candidates are evaluated. The subcommittee reconvenes annually to review/agree on the criteria and then submits the survey to membership, via email and LinkedIn, to obtain nominees,” DiVaccaro says. “The subcommittee reviews the nominee submissions against the criteria and recommends award winners. The recommendations are presented to the MDPTC board for ratification.”
The 2022 Honor Award winner is expected to be announced at the new medical device packaging conference thePACKout, May 10-12, in Austin, Texas.
