December 2024 Newsletter

 

PAPPA Members,

 

I hope you found your PAPPA membership to be beneficial to you and your business this past year. With opportunities to attend shows, participate in virtual webinars, network at and provide factory tours, and socialize at the member cocktail party at Promotions East.


PAPPA also provides distributors with options to save money on orders with the Member Coupon Book and Promo Hunt. I hope that you used these resources this year.


The Coupon Book is also a great way for Suppliers to reach distributors through a completely different marketing option.


Now is the time to renew your membership dues!


We are currently planning 2025 programs and shows with some new social networking opportunities that we will be sharing soon. 



Happy Holidays to you and your family!

 

Christa Deeden

PAPPA President

 

PAPPA Members & Friends,


This coming March will mark 10 years that I have served as the PAPPA Executive Director. It has been a pleasure to serve in this role to help build the association’s presence in the industry and establish a healthy financial standing to help PAPPA succeed for years to come.


I have enjoyed working with the various board members and volunteers! I hope that I did a good job for my dear friend Jim Harmon, a former executive director, who passed away just months after I started. He loved PAPPA (SACDV), and I promised him I would give it my best!


After careful consideration I decided to simplify my work to have more time with my family and I decided to resign effective February 28, 2025.


I hope to see you at the Winter Showcase at The Drexelbrook on January 29 so that I will have an opportunity to say goodbye.


I wish you all the best!

 

Happy Holidays!

Patti Ward

PAPPA Executive Director
