President's Message
Hello and Happy New Year!
If you're as excited as I am, we are in for one awesome year! I can confidently tell you that PAPPA is one of the strongest regional associations and it's all thanks to you - our members!
First, I want to thank our now past President John Davis. John did an incredible job of growing PAPPA, he was able to maintain a strong board and oversee the second New Jersey show and first Lancaster show! John's leadership has sustained PAPPA's growth and I look forward to working with John in 2020. I'd also like to thank Gary Cervi, Lora Dunnigan, Peter Zales and Ted Harris for their board service to PAPPA. Without our amazing volunteers PAPPA would not be as strong as it is today. And I'd like to welcome our newest board members - Tom Clouser, Christa Deeden, Wanda Banks-Green and Staci Whittington! I look forward to working with you and continuing to make PAPPA great!
With a new decade comes new initiatives. We are launching a new website in February, and we will be partnering with the Ronald McDonald House. Our new website will be user friendly and be a valuable resource for our members. Our partnership with the Ronald McDonald house will allow us to work with a local charity that gives back to families suffering hard times. We will be hosting an event later in 2020 where we will donate the proceeds to the Ronald McDonald House!
I encourage everyone to become a PAPPA member. PAPPA is a valuable resource and it helps facilitate the relationships with suppliers and distributors. We will be hosting four trade shows in 2020. Our Winter show, January 28th at the Springfield Country Club; our third end user show in Collingswood, New Jersey, our second end user show in Lancaster, PA and our Fall Expo in Valley Forge! In addition to our trade show, we will be hosting a number of social events throughout the year. We also will be promoting supplier breakfasts and lunch and learns. PAPPA is in place to help you grow your business and network with other promotional products professions. I highly encourage you to become a member and take full advantage of what we offer. If you are a member, please considering volunteering at a trade show or an event!
I look forward to seeing all of you in 2020.
I wish you a prosperous year!
Brian Deissroth
PAPPA President 2020
