An award was presented to honor one individual for his or her time and energy devoted to helping BIA achieve the industry’s strategic goals. The 2009 Volunteer of the Year Award, which was determined by BIA’s senior staff and President and CEO Dick Jennison, was bestowed upon Brett Packer, President of Packer Brick, who has given generously of his time and talents toward the advancement and defense of our industry.
Brett Packer is an officer of the BIA Board of Directors, serves on BIA’s Executive Committee, is on the Board of Directors of BIA-Southwest Region, is a constant recruiter of new distributor members into BIA, and is always willing to provide advice and counsel on BIA’s initiatives that impact our members.
While this leader is President of his local distributorship, in his work with BIA he always has his eye out for what’s best for the industry. He has gone to great lengths to ensure that initiatives he puts forth for our Association’s work do not impose an unfair burden on both manufacturers and distributors – regardless of the size or the number of markets they service. Thank you Brett Packer!
