From Your Executive Director |

As 2025 winds down and you work through year-end wrap-ups and begin looking ahead to 2026, I wanted to pause and reflect on what truly defines Premier Group: meaningful relationships, open collaboration, and the trust that allows our community to grow stronger together. In that spirit, we’re excited to highlight another valued supplier member, celebrate a few collaborative wins that are uniquely PG, and share some important reminders as we head into the holidays.
That said, I don’t want to steal Todd’s thunder—so be sure to scroll down to hear his message directly.
And before I see you again, I hope you’re able to truly step away, rest, and recharge. My wish for you is a peaceful, restorative holiday—surrounded by love, full of laughter, and spent with the people who matter most. Thank you for the generosity, integrity, and partnership you bring to this community all year long. Cheers and Happy Holidays, Dana Geiger | Executive Director |

Q: If you could collaborate with anyone (real or fictional) on a project, who would it be and why?
A: My Dad. The project might not get done until next week, but we would have a blast doing it!
Q: What are the biggest trends you're seeing in the industry right now?
A: The biggest trend I continue to see is the end clients demand on value. Products with higher perceived value, quality and durability are on trend.

This year's PG Holiday Lookbook proved to be a powerful tool for helping members spark conversations and drive meaningful business. This recent holiday season, 13 members customized their own versions, and analytics show strong engagement and traction—demonstrating just how effective this type of curated, brand-forward resource can be in supporting sales efforts.
As we look ahead to 2026, Premier Group Network has planned for two seasonal lookbooks for our membership. Members will once again have the opportunity to customize the digital lookbooks, each designed to be practical, polished sales tools—making it easier to highlight your difference, showcase products, and connect with clients in a relevant manner. |
