Cosmetic Industry Buyers and Suppliers Celebrates Madeline Blondman at Scholarship Luncheon

Blondman received an honorary membership certificate at the CIBS event.

Madeline Blondman, the founder of Madeline Blondman & Company, was celebrated by the Cosmetic Industry Buyers and Suppliers (CIBS) at its annual Rutgers Scholarship Luncheon at Rosie O'Grady's in Manhattan on April 12.
 
Christina Neuner, CIBS Scholarship Chairperson, and Allyson Tobin, CIBS president and sales executive at Oliver Packaging, presented Blondman with an honorary membership certificate. Other than its annual Ladies’ Day event, women weren't allowed to attend CIBS meetings or join the networking organization until sometime in the 1980s.

CIBS Awards Scholarship

CIBS awarded Jasreet Kaur with a $2,500 scholarship to Rutgers University. Kaur is in Rutgers' packaging engineering program and will have the full support of CIBS members during her job search when she graduates. Unlike Kaur, Blondman was on her own when she was building her business in the male-dominated cosmetic packaging industry in 1972.
 

Upcoming CIBS Events

CIBS has several upcoming events including the Golf Outing on June 12, Summer Luncheon on July 27 and FIT Scholarship Luncheon on October 11.
