In October, PPAI and the Regional

Association Council (RAC) hosted board

members and executive directors from

regional associations throughout the

U.S. and Puerto Rico in Grapevine,

Texas, for the 17th annual Leadership

Development Workshop (LDW). The

week-long event featured training

and planning for PPAI committee

and advisory group chairs, and an

extensive, multi-day curriculum designed

to provide learning opportunities

for regional association leadership

through general sessions, breakout

discussions and sharing activities.

Thank you for a very good week at

LDW. The VAPPA [Virginia Promotional

Products Association] team appreciates

PPAI and our relationship with each of

you. I have attended several LDWs, but

this week was a homerun for me, and

I know our entire group is very excited

about our future and implementing the

ideas and knowledge we gained.

Thanks for a great event! As a

first‑time attendee and new PPAM

[Promotional Products Association

Midwest] volunteer, I felt like it was

a great way to kick off my regional

board “career.”The sessions were

informative and motivational and I

enjoyed all the engaging discussions

with the other regionals.
