Cappelletti Leadership Award is
Ken Braney. Ken is recognized
for his commitment to SPE and the
progress he has made in Europe,
spreading the word about SPE, getting
people to work on various committees,
and starting numerous projects to
provide education on plastics to
the European community. Ken has
ably served as Councilor, as a valued
member of the International Committee,
and as one of the founding fathers
