There is incredible momentum building across SAAGNY, and I am excited to share a look at what has been happening behind the scenes and what lies ahead for our community.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Prime Line for a factory tour, and it was a tremendous success. Our members were able to get a true behind the scenes look at Prime’s facility while also benefiting from an engaging educational presentation. Experiences like this bring our industry to life and reinforce the value of connection, learning, and transparency.

In April, SAAGNY leadership will also be attending PPAI L.E.A.D. in Washington, D.C. This is a powerful opportunity for us to visit Capitol Hill and advocate on behalf of our industry and our members. Having a seat at the table and making our voices heard is critical, and we are proud to represent you on this important stage.

We also have a strong lineup of upcoming events this spring. A Constant Contact webinar is scheduled for May 5, followed by a Showdown Displays factory tour on May 21. Registration for both events will be opening soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming announcements and marketing.

And of course, the excitement continues to build around Promotions East. The energy is real, and we are thrilled to be bringing this event to Manhattan. This is not your ordinary tradeshow. It is an EXPERIENCE that must be seen in person. From the format to the engagement to the people in the room, everything has been thoughtfully designed to create meaningful impact. If you have not yet registered, now is the time.

Finally, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the SAAGNY Board of Directors, our dedicated volunteers, and our entire membership. Your hard work, passion, and support are what make SAAGNY so special. Everything we accomplish is a direct result of this incredible community.

I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and continuing to build something truly exceptional together.
