The addition of Ms. Beggs and Mr. Tozier to IP's Board of Directors is expected to bring a fresh perspective and valuable expertise to guide the company through its next phase of growth. With their extensive experience in finance and strategic transformations, they are well-equipped to contribute to IP's success in the future.
