Must Read | PPAI Icon Award Winners PPAI Icon Award Winners In addition to honoring the newest inductees to the PPAI Hall of Fame, the Association also recognized this year’s recipients of PPAI’s Distinguished Service Award and the H. Ted Olson Humanitarian Award. By Jonny Auping Service and leadership are two words that, under the right circumstances, can become intertwined. They mean different things, but for a certain type of person, serving others is the most practical way to lead, on the ground floor and at the highest level. When it comes to PPAI’s Distinguished Service Award and H. Ted Olson Humanitarian Award, recipients tend to exist somewhere in the intersection between service and leadership. This year, the Association was proud to honor Danny Sirmon, MAS, president of Zebra Marketing, and D’Anna Zimmer, CAS, business development manager at BAG MAKERS, with the PPAI Distinguished Service Award and Joy Smith, MAS, owner of Joy of Advertising, with the H. Ted Olson Humanitarian Award. 42 • MARCH 2025 • PPAI
