Danny Rosin, CAS Returning To The PPAI Board By Jonny Auping Danny Rosin, CAS, president and co-owner of North Carolina-based distributor Brand Fuel, was appointed to the PPAI Board of Directors in February to fill the remaining term of Joshua White. In January, White announced he would take a reduced role at BAMKO to focus on entrepreneurial pursuits and resigned from the PPAI Board. PPAI bylaws stipulate that a mid-term replacement must come with previous board service. Rosin served a full term on the PPAI Board from 2017-2021. By stepping in for White, who joined the board in 2023, Rosin will serve the entirety of White’s remaining term through The PPAI Expo 2027. Co-founding Brand Fuel in 1998, Rosin was a primary force in growing it into one of the more recognizable distributors in promo. In 2023, Brand Fuel earned PPAI 100 High Marks in Growth and Responsibility. Rosin also co-founded PromoKitchen, a volunteer education group, out of his desire to promote and mentor rising voices in the industry. In 2023, he was named the H. Ted Olson Humanitarian Award winner for his philanthropic efforts. Rosin has made several appearances on the PPAI Media #Online18 for his personal social media presence, and Brand Fuel was named the list’s No. 1 organization in 2023 and No. 2 organization in 2024. Additionally, he served as one of four distributor judges on The Pitch at The PPAI Expo in 2023 and 2024. “I am bullish on the value of promotional products and PPAI’s role with the industry’s growth, safety and reputation,” Rosin says. “But we have a lot of work to do. I want to be a part of leading that work to help members with education, advocacy, new resources, collaboration, how to be a force for good and even injecting some fun along the way.” “I am bullish on the value of promotional products and PPAI’s role with the industry’s growth, safety and reputation.” Must Read | New PPAI Board Members 46 • APRIL 2024 • PPAI
