The recent PPAI Expo marked not only the official start of a new sales year but the conclusion of service for 2015 board members and committee volunteers, and the start of new terms for incoming volunteers. PPAI recognized the generous contributions of time and talent from dozens of its volunteer leaders at the PPAI Expo Volunteer Recognition Luncheon held January 10 in Las Vegas, and thanked them with a USB donated by Hirsch Gift, Inc., that was distributed at committee and advisory group meetings during Expo. Hirsch also provided USBs for all PPAI volunteers this past fall at the Association’s Volunteer Leadership Day.

Among those honored for service at the Expo luncheon were the 2015 class of retiring board members: Chuck Fandos, CAS; Norma Jean Knollenberg, CIP, CPIM; David Nicholson and Julia Wright, MAS, and Mark Jenkins, MAS, and incoming board members who comprise the class of 2020, were introduced: Brittany David, Perry Wehrle and Larry Cohen.

PPAI also honored outgoing board chair Rick Brenner, MAS+ for his extraordinary leadership over the past year and welcomed incoming chair of the board Tom Goos, MAS.

Also recognized were incoming board members for the Regional Association Council and Promotional Products Education Foundation as well as those who have completed their service as PPAI committee volunteers:
