PPAI Announces First Young Professional Scholarship Recipient PPAI has announced that Megan Sapp, director of client support services at St. Louis-based distributor Brand Addition, is the first recipient of the Young Professional Scholarship. As such, the Association covered the cost for her registration to PPAI’s Leadership Development Conference. • The Young Professional Scholarship is intended to work in tandem with LDC as a launchpad for leadership, networking and industry insight. • It covers full event registration, two nights hotel accommodations and up to $500 in airfare reimbursement. • A 2022 graduate of Truman State University, Sapp, started in promo as U.S. sales manager with Brand Addition before taking on her current role where she leads the merchandising, supplier relations and customer service departments. Passionate about studying industry and retail trends that she can bring back to her company, she was eager to apply for the possibility of attending LDC and being around other like-minded young promo professionals. “I’m incredibly honored to be the inaugural recipient of the PPAI Young Professional Scholarship,” Sapp says. “I first learned about the scholarship opportunity through PPAI Newslink and was immediately drawn to it since I’ve had my eye on the upcoming Leadership Development Conference for a while now.” 80 • NOVEMBER 2025 • PPAI Community | Inside PPAI FREE Carry Bag FREE PMS Matches No Minimum No Set-Up Charges 240g Tension Fabric DMB11221- 115”w x 89”h DTS11313- 48”w x 89”h DTS11113- 24”w x 89”h Lightweight Rugged Aluminum Frame for Simple No-Tools Set up 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 or 20ft wide x 89”h Stock Sizes or Call for Custom Single or Double Side Full Color, Full Coverage Imprint New Lower Prices on Straight Fabric Displays!
