The induction ceremony for the Class of 2024 will be held at a special dinner on March 20 as part of PLMA’s 2024 Annual Meeting & Leadership Conference in San Antonio.
Presented by PLMA and Store Brands, the Private Label Hall of Fame was created in 2006 to recognize high achievers and thought leaders who have made significant contributions in their own organizations, as well as those who have set standards of excellence and accomplishment throughout the industry. Retailers, manufacturers and suppliers, wholesalers, members of the press, market researchers and consultants are among the potential candidates.
“At a time when private label is seeing tremendous growth, we’re excited at the opportunity to once again honor those who set a solid foundation for the industry, while also celebrating today’s stars who are driving the business forward,” said Greg Sleter, associate publisher and executive editor of Store Brands.
Profiles on all inductees will be featured on StoreBrands.com and posted in the Hall of Fame section of plma.com.
