Just in time for the season of giving, the Association is looking for more members of the promotional products industry to engage in volunteerism.
PPAI offers many opportunities for promo pros to contribute their skills, expertise and time toward the betterment of the industry through volunteer service within the Association.
“Volunteering is about giving, but it also gives back to you in ways that can shape your personal and professional life,” says Shannon Johnson, MAS, director of executive administration at PPAI. “It’s a way to make meaningful impact while gaining experience and connections that stay with you for years to come. Ultimately, volunteering isn’t just about giving your time, it’s about creating positive change.”
