GREEN BAY – Early morning storms gave way to a blustery but blissful afternoon at Lambeau Field as Ed Policy delivered his first president's report at the Packers' annual shareholders meeting on Monday.

Policy, who succeeded Mark Murphy as chairman of the board, president and CEO at last year's meeting, painted a bright portrait of the franchise's future during his half-hour address to shareholders in attendance.

During his first year on the job, Policy outlined three primary objectives: Win football games, keep the Packers in Green Bay and strengthen the community.

To achieve those goals, Policy is committed to supporting the Packers' football leadership, increasing the club's influence within the NFL, embracing international expansion and maintaining a strong economic model to keep pace with the league's rapidly evolving landscape.

On the heels of the Packers' league-record 38th playoff appearance, the future of the football team was solidified when the organization extended Head Coach Matt LaFleur, General Manager Brian Gutekunst and vice president of football operations Russ Ball.

Policy said couldn't be "more excited" to keep those three pillars in place while also striving to have "even better alignment" between football and administration.

"We had 10 head coach openings throughout the league this past offseason and that caused a tremendous amount of chaos in a lot of other organizations," Policy said. "I believe players, and especially quarterbacks and championship-caliber teams, develop best in an environment of continuity, not chaos."

In his own address to shareholders, Gutekunst reflected on a successful 2025 that began with the earth-shattering acquisition of All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons on the eve of the regular season.

The Packers surged out to a 9-3-1 start before Parsons was lost for the remainder of the season to a torn anterior cruciate ligament he sustained in Denver.

Green Bay still advanced to the playoffs for the 14th time over the last 17 seasons but fell to the Chicago Bears, 31-27, during the NFC Wild Card playoffs.

That disappointment steered the Packers' offseason, which included signing receivers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed and former first-round pick Devonte Wyatt to contract extensions.

The Packers, who begin training camp Wednesday, also traded for All-Pro linebacker Zaire Franklin and signed two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Javon Hargrave.

"As we turn the page to 2026, we recognize how close we are to becoming the team we expect to be," Gutekunst said. "At the same time, we have no illusions about the areas where we must improve – finishing games, maintaining our composure in critical moments and consistently playing our best football when it matters most will be essential."

Perhaps the loudest ovation Monday came in response to the Packers' Christmas Day matchup with the Chicago Bears, which triggered a "Bears Still Suck" chant from those in attendance that Policy playfully turned his microphone toward.

Fans also roared in approval to Policy reiterating that the organization will not sell the naming rights to Lambeau Field. The organization will remain vigilant, though, when it comes to revenue generation, as it explores new opportunities to sponsor various parts of the Lambeau Field campus, including but not limited to its training facilities and Titletown.

To that end, the Packers will continue looking to bring in more large-scale events, including concerts, college football games and premier soccer matchups.

Lambeau Field welcomed more than 93,000 people to the stadium for Luke Combs' two-night concert in May. Next month, the stadium also will play host to a highly anticipated football game between Notre Dame and Wisconsin, an event that's been more than a decade in the making.

Policy also announced the Packers will honor late team president Bob Harlan and add his name to the Lambeau Field façade during a halftime ceremony when Green Bay plays the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.

Harlan, whose 18½-year tenure as president and CEO produced one of the league's most storied turnarounds, passed away in March at 89 years old.

"We all know that Bob was a transformational leader of the Green Bay Packers, setting us up for years of success both on and off the field," Policy said.

"He also played a key role as a leader and a mentor to both myself and Mark Murphy. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for how gracious and generous Bob was with his time and his advice during my first 14 years here with the Packers."

Amidst his closing remarks, Policy confirmed the Packers have partnered with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions for a six-part documentary on the team that is set to run later this year.

With a strong financial forecast and the football framework in place, Policy is excited for what the rest of 2026 has in store for the team and its worldwide fanbase, which now welcomes Germany, the United Kingdom and Ireland through the NFL Global Marketing Program.

"We're going to have millions of new fans making multi-generational decisions, picking their favorite team over the next few years, and we have to be involved in those conversations," Policy said.

"I think we're going to have a competitive advantage in that competition because I think that our story is going to resonate with Germany, the U.K., Ireland and really throughout the globe. We're the people's team and communities throughout the world can relate to that."
