Community | Inside PPAI PPAI Adds New Responsibilities For Two Staffers PPAI has promoted two staff members to new positions serving Association members: Christina Sanders, PPAI’s awards and recognition manager and executive director of the Specialty Advertising Association of California, now has the additional title of regional relations manager. Kathlene Brethowr, PPAI’s member engagement manager, is also the new executive director of the Promotional Products Education Foundation. Sanders has managed PPAI’s awards programs since 2010, and in February 2022, she became executive director of SAAC, helping its board of directors guide the direction of the regional association while engaging with members and potential members. As regional relations manager, Sanders will manage the relationship between PPAI and the promotional products industry’s 27 regional associations along with the Regional Relations Committee, previously known as the Regional Association Council. “I look forward to working with the RRC and the regional associations to foster strategic partnerships that allow the associations and all our members to continue to grow and flourish,” Sanders says. Brethowr, who joined PPAI in 2018, works with the PPAI Board of Directors and oversees the Association’s volunteer program and its summer conferences in her role as member engagement manager. As executive director of PPEF, she will manage the board of trustees and all PPEF activities, including the scholarship program, fundraising activities and donor recognition initiatives. “I am looking forward to being part of this foundation and hopefully growing the impact it has on our industry and the families involved,” Brethowr says. “I have always wanted to be in a career that allows me to play a part in changing lives, and PPEF does just that.” Sanders Brethowr PPAI: 111248 | ASI: 35375 | SAGE: 50327 | UPIC: ACCENTS | DC: 101273 Made & Printed in the USA Quick Turn Arounds Low Minimums www.americanaccents.com | 888.287.7883 Scan for pricing! •Made from B-flute (1/8”) corrugated board •No die cut fees! •Interior print optional •Perfect for sample kits & product packaging •Self-locking & easy to assemble •Digitally printed with 4-Color process 5 piece minimums!
