PPAI has welcomed Jill Begun to the Association’s staff as its new professional development manager. Part of the member engagement team, she will lend her experience and expertise in support of PPAI’s professional development programs and members’ career education needs. Begun is a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University and has extensive recruiting experience. She brings a background in working with professional and nonprofit clients to solve their staffing needs to her new role at PPAI. “This position excited me because of the industry, the reputation of the Association, and the new challenges and motivations it would bring,” she says. “Even though the position and industry are new to me, I was able to carry over some of the skills and knowledge I gained from my previous roles.” Begun’s initial focus at PPAI was to fill in the gaps in her understanding of PPAI and the promotional products industry. “My initial objective for the position is meeting the members, getting to know them, and finding out what is important and a priority for them,” says Begun. “Another objective is learning about the industry and what is on everyone’s mind. The more I know about the industry and our members’ needs, the better I can assist with professional development.” Jill Begun Joins PPAI As Professional Development Manager Jill Begun PPAI: 111248 | ASI: 35375 | SAGE: 50327 | UPIC: ACCENTS | DC:101273 www.americanaccents.com 888.287.7883 PERFECT FOR... ѭ (THPYFNQ UFWYNJX ѭ <JIINSLX ѭ (TWUTWFYJ J[JSYX ѭ 4KKNHJ GWJFP WTTRX ѭ FSI RTWJ Looking for napkins? 50 Piece Minimums ѭMetallic and neon ink colors offered at no extra cost ѭMultiple print methods available ѭFree PMS matching ѭMade from renewable resources ѭMade with 20% WJH^HQJI ܪ GJWX ѭMade & printed in the USA | OCTOBER 2022 | 97 CONNECT
