President's Message
It was nice to see many of you at the PAPPA Winter Show in January at the Springfield Country Club and hear the familiar buzz of exhibitors and distributors talking about business in the ballroom.
We are now gearing up for the Spring client shows next week in South Jersey, April 26, and Lancaster, April 27. We hope our distributor members plan to attend at least one show and support our PAPPA suppliers and reps. Make sure to register if you haven’t already so that we can have your badge ready for your arrival.
Current PAPPA members are welcome to invite clients to the show. If you are not a PAPPA member, you are welcome to attend as a distributor guest for $25 per person.
This is a perfect time to re-connect with exhibitors and PAPPA members. Think Spring! Think PAPPA! Plan to attend one of the Spring shows!
Happy Selling,
Staci Whittington, PAPPA President
