Patsy Beall of Glenn Beall Plastics is Inducted as Honorary Member of SPE



GURNEE, IL, U.S.A., -- Leading members of the plastics industry joined with family and friends at a Nov. 15th awards dinner to recognize Patsy Beall as an Honorary Member of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).



Overseen by the Past Presidents Committee of SPE, the Honorary Member award is rarely presented to an individual rather than an organization.



Mrs. Beall is a partner in Glenn Beall Plastics Ltd., Libertyville, IL, and the wife of Plastics Hall of Fame member Glenn Beall.  Recognized as a mentor and influencer of plastics professionals, she was cited by longtime SPE activist Barbara Arnold-Feret for her guidance of young professionals, advocacy of SPE, and emphasis on education.



The celebration dinner was organized by Mark Wolverton of the SPE Chicago Section and underwritten by that section as well as by the SPE Mold Making and Mold Division, Rotational Molding Division, and Product Design and Development Division.



“Patsy is one of SPE’s best cheerleaders, telling everyone about the great work that SPE does in education and technology and bringing together people that work in the industry,” said Mr. Wolverton.



Mrs. Beall received a framed certificate from Russell Broome, a Past President of SPE and current SPE Managing Director, a commemorative trophy, and a gold SPE pendant with emerald accent mounted on a hand crafted horn pendant.  The horn base has special significance to Mrs. Beall, who uses combs crafted from horn, and to her husband, a member of The Worshipful Company of Horners.  Ms. Arnold-Feret presented Mrs. Beall with a sparkling tiara, noting that she was the “godmother of plastics” in the eyes of many.
