Last Month's Event
|
|
Honoring our 2017 President's Charity - UMOM New Day Centers and the Matthew 25 Foundation
On Friday, September 29th, a group from AzPPA had the privilege of touring the UMOM New Day Center in central Phoenix. We saw the various levels of housing options and support that they offer, as well as the day care, after-school activity center, teen zone, cafe, kitchen, and computer resource center. There are so many opportunities to provide support for this worthy organization.
Please contribute as much as you can at our upcoming events. Along with the donations that were contributed at our Expo and on the day of the tour, AzPPA will be raising funds for this organization for the remainder at 2017. They are counting on your assistance!

New Member Highlight!
|
|
It's a Record-Setting Year for AzPPA Membership!
Your 2017 Board of Directors has been working all year to grow our membership. As part of this effort, this year we have been featuring new members in the newsletter. In this edition, we hear from two new distributor members.
Member Name: Dale Worden
- AzPPA: How did you get started in the Promotional Products Industry?
Worden: I was a sales manager at a company called Crown Marketing Group in Clearwater, FL. We sold incentive travel packages business to business. Vernon was a client of Crown, and Crown was a client of Vernon. Knowing their company well, I responded to an ad Vernon placed for a division manager in Tampa, Florida and got the job.
Member Name: Miriam Bowen
AzPPA: How did you get started in the Promotional Products Industry?
Bowen: I started in Graphic Arts by making print products for my own pet industry company.
Then I started offering print products I had developed to other pet industry
professionals, including a few promotional products. With my graphic arts skills, I
found promotional products less time-consuming and more profitable than print
products.
