The current economic climate is causing businesses to cut costs, but this is the most important time to innovate. Charles Chang – an entrepreneur, packaging engineer and inventor – approaches innovation with a focus on identifying problems and developing innovative solutions for them. Problems turn into exciting opportunities with some imagination and ingenuity of execution. Innovation is not about the best ideas but rather involves the execution of the creative process, even if it leads down different paths to a final destination.

Mr. Chang of Topline Products Company, Inc. will be a special guest speaker at the New Jersey Packaging Executives Club (NJPEC) annual Scholarship Dinner on May 28 at The Bethwood in Totowa, NJ. For advanced registration, RSVP by May 20. More info: www.njpec.com
