The New England Promotional Products Association represents over 500 professional distributors and suppliers of promotional products in New England, dedicated to providing trade show, networking and educational opportunities for its membership.
NEPPA members are encouraged to attend our two annual shows. Our Spring Table Top Show will kick your year into high gear, with the fall show ringing in the holiday selling season. Both shows feature hundreds of suppliers and manufacturer representatives exhibiting new products and ideas.
Individual knowledge and increased professionalism of our industry has made New England one of the top promotional product regions in the country, and NEPPA is dedicated to offering the highest quality educational programs to its membership. Programs are held in conjunction with our annual spring and fall shows, as well as at networking events. Industry-related speakers and other well-known professionals present topics ranging from business management, creativity, customer service and more. These programs are an excellent way to earn CEUs (Continuing Education Units) towards the industry designations of Certified Advertising Specialist (CAS) and Master Advertising Specialist (MAS). The commitment can be as little as an afternoon or evening away from your office. The benefit is a lifetime of information and knowledge to help you run your business and increase your sales. Please visit www.ppa.org for more information on the MAS/CAS certification program.
Social and educational events offer members a wonderful opportunity to gather and network, develop new contacts and strengthen existing relationships. Each year the Networking Events Committee plans an educational workshop selecting a venue with more than just a meeting room Ð an indoor race track or an IMAX movie! Attendees have the opportunity to combine learning with socializing and FUN!
NEPPA Cares is the fund raising foundation of the New England Promotional Products Association. Our purpose is to support local selected charities hold funds in reserve and distribute on a case by case basis.
The NEPPA Newsletter is published six times per year bringing members current information on association and industry activities. The NEPPA Membership Directory (published online) keeps members in touch with one another, listing contact information of our distributor, supplier and manufacturers' representative members.
NEPPA's volunteer board of directors and committee members generously give their time, organizing various events and attending bi-monthly meetings. Members are encouraged to benefit even more by volunteering for committees or election to the board. Many a career and business have blossomed through volunteer efforts. Contact NEPPA or a Committee Chair if you would like to become involved.
