Calling all Suppliers and MLR's - Would you like to host a Nosh & Knowledge Event in 2019?
In an effort to bring more programs to the entire CPPA territory, we have developed lunch and learn opportunities called "Nosh & Knowledge". These luncheons allow our distributor members (and non-members) to enjoy a hosted lunch while getting industry education. Additionally it is an opportunity for our supplier sponsors to reach a larger group of people at one time maximizing their time and money.

Legislative Education and Action Day (L.E.A.D)
|
Will You Add Your Voice?
May 15th - 16th, more than 70 PPAI members will once again take our message directly to Capitol Hill to ensure lawmakers recognize our $24 billion industry employs over half a million Americans. They will address issues of tax reform and its impact on small business; the role of independent contractors within the promotional products industry; global value chains and the effective use of promotional products.
Will you add your voice to theirs?
Consider sending emails and making phone calls so that you will be adding your voice to the conversations other members will be delivering in person in Washington, D.C.
It is easy to participate. Click this link to access and send
pre-written emails or call your member of Congress.
It is understandable not everyone can make the trip to Washington, but by adding your voice it will ensure that everyone in the industry is able to join together to protect the industry that has been so good to all of us.
Thank you for your support of this important program.
