PPPC Scholarship - Our Connection to the Next Generation
Over the last 10 years, the PPPC Scholarship initiative has donated a total of $141,000 in PPPC Scholarships, thanks to the support of many generous members, however the program is about so much more according to our Chair of the Scholarship Committee, Jae M. Rang, MAS.
"While awarding bursaries to deserving Canadian students is noble, this program far exceeds that single mission. The PPPC Scholarship ignites our conversation with the next generation of industry owners, marketers, designers, and sales consultants. Through this program we dialogue about the power of promotional products with the very talent that have the ability to drive our industry forward. Today's youth is ambitious, connected, socially conscious and want to make a difference. Can you think of a better industry to embrace these individuals? Be part of the voice: share the PPPC Scholarship link on your social media sites, with your colleagues, your family members and friends. Then donate what you can to the Ros Plummer Memorial Scholarship OR create a scholarship of your own! Start the smiles" , shares Rang.

$900 Raised For The Rosalind Plummer Memorial Scholarship
The Rosalind Plummer Memorial Scholarship was initiated by members of the association to honour the memory of a dear friend to all, Rosalind Plummer, MAS. Ros was a very strong proponent of education and professional development and a scholarship in her honour is only fitting. To date, $900 has been raised for this scholarship.
This special scholarship will be bestowed on a student that is currently studying Business and/or Marketing at an accredited Canadian University or College and that is actively involved in volunteerism and charitable work within their community. Ros was involved in a number of different charities over the years, therefore her scholarship will put a large emphasis on the student's volunteer efforts.

The Street Smart Seminar was a Hit!
The PPPC Ontario Chapter held their inaugural Street Smart Seminar event on April 20th at the Homewood Suites in Vaughan, Ontario. The event featured 14 different suppliers that presented in 14 different product categories. The format of these sessions were quite unique, as the suppliers were previously selected by PPPC distributors. Each supplier presented in their own suite for 25 minutes, with the attendees moving from suite to suite throughout the day.
The feedback from distributors and suppliers alike was absolutely fantastic, with everyone indicating they would recommend the event to their peers, and that they would indeed return. Here's what some attendees had to say about the event:
"I thought the Street Smart Seminar was FANTASTIC!!! I liked the idea of going from room to room. I can't wait for the next Street Smart Seminar!"
~ Shelley Feldman, Promote Me Inc.
"I thought the whole process of visiting 14 suppliers/ manufactures in such a short period of time was very exhilarating to say the least."
~ James Lewis, Ingenious Media
"When STORMTECH was first asked to present at the NEW PPPC Street Smart Seminar, we were initially hesitant to participate in "another road show PK session". After learning about the vison that PPPC had for this seminar, it aligned perfectly with our presentation philosophy - bring something different to the table and make it valuable to the Distributors! We were extremely happy with the final results, and the sessions that we had with the Distributors who attended."
~ Chris Turner, Stormtech
Don't you miss the next PPPC Ontario Chapter Street Smart Seminar! Thank you to all who attended!

Get Your "Creative" On
By Jae M. Rang, MAS
Reading time: 44 seconds
In Canada, at this time of year, you hear the term "spring cleaning" a lot.
When everything was covered in a white blanket and the chilly air required layers of protective clothing, we held "spring" in our minds as our incentive to push through knowing that "spring" never disappoints.
It rains a little more at this time of year but, coupled with the added daylight, nature is clearly encouraging life to blossom. The fresh, aromatic air is filled with negative ions generated from the rain. It's so energizing and all the more reason to open our windows. And when we do, we're treated to the sounds of children giggling as they toss the ball, play tag and climb the monkey bars. Sometimes those sounds are drowned out by leaf-blowers, lawn mowers and power-washers but they're all welcome signs that spring is in the air.
At this season change, everyone arises from hibernation to begin to de-clutter, give everything a good scrub, get organized, and welcome back outdoor living. It's somewhat of a seasonal ritual that feels so good!
Jonathan Fader, Ph.D. writes in Psychology Today, "While spring cleaning has the obvious benefits of an organized closet, a sparkling counter top, and possibly more open spaces, more importantly, it has been associated with improved mood, decreased stress and heightened creativity."
With that in mind, should the inspiration that "spring" represents need only be seasonal?
