In March, PPAI President and CEO Paul Bellantone, CAE, traveled to
Minnesota, where he joined the Upper Midwest Association of
Promotional Professionals (UMAPP) 2016 Fire & Ice Show, and vis-
ited the Eagan, Minnesota, headquarters of supplier Webb
Company (UPIC: WEBBCO). Webb Company President Dan Webb
led the tour, visiting all areas of the company across its two manufac-
turing and decorating locations.
Bellantone joined the show at a professional development break-
fast session before the show floor opened. His town hall session,
“Success In An Era Of Transformation,” drew an audience of more
than 50 suppliers and distributors.
