Share Your Ideas

SP aims to be the leading forum for our members to collaborate with their industry peers through member-driven work groups on unique projects and activities addressing their environmental sustainability and business needs. To help us in continuing to provide a value-driven forum addressing current and emerging needs, we have created a standard process for any and all SP members to share their pain points, ideas and proposals with SP for consideration in planning future activities.

Idea submissions will be reviewed by SP’s Board of Directors and leadership team on a rolling basis and evaluated for potential follow up based on alignment with industry goals, trends and other ongoing activities.
