Western Paper's 2019 Sales Conference Inspires New Connections

Copper Mountain was the scenic host of Western Paper’s 2019 Annual Sales Conference, and the event was a hit, with both Western Paper team members and our preferred supplier partners coming together June 10-14 to forge stronger personal and professional connections.

The popular Colorado mountain resort was still thawing its snow from the ski season, but there was plenty of warmth in the laughter and relationships of those gathered to discuss the status of the industry, the latest product innovations and the positive vision and plan for ongoing growth and delivering help to our customers.

Western Paper’s CEO Nick Morris and President/COO Jeff Farmer recapped the year’s successes and blueprint for moving forward and continuing to lead the industry in customer service and excellence in execution. This highly anticipated event not only allows our team to investigate new product solutions and top product performers from our valued supplier partners, but it also gives the company a chance to recognize some of the outstanding performances by those in our industry.

In the usual and customary fashion, Morris’ words at the awards banquet filled the hall with laughter while giving special recognition to top performing team members, including:
