During the first morning’s breakfast program, McLean provided an update on PPAI’s activities and initiatives, and honored Bankers as one of the oldest Association members having joined more than 100 years ago.

“I really enjoyed learning more about Bankers and its sister company, supplier TruArt,” says McLean. “Still being somewhat new to the promotional products industry, I came away with a deeper understanding of one of the industry’s largest and oldest companies. It was an honor to be a part of this annual event.”

The three-day event included inside sales training, breakout group discussions, a table top show, a factory tour of supplier Quick Point, Inc. and the company’s annual awards presentation recognizing individuals for their sales achievement and years of service.
