A LETTER FROM PG BOARD CHAIR

MENDA WRIGHT

Dear PG Members, 

Thank you all for joining us virtually last week at the PG annual meeting. It was sooooooo good to see so many faces that I have missed tremendously! When Creative Studio Promotions joined Premier Group six years ago, I knew we were making a good business decision. What I did not imagine, was how this decision would impact us professionally AND personally. Our business has no doubt grown and much of that is due to the close relationships Ann and I have been fortunate enough to form with many of you - which is an incredible blessing!

As the new Board Chair, one of my goals is to get to know more about each of you in the coming year. You will see we have so many exciting new initiatives being formed to help members connect internally with the resources PG provides but also externally with other business owners that may be facing similar challenges.

Many of us know inherently the value of membership and we are committed to helping all members maximize the value. This newsletter includes a great deal of information to get you started. It also contains a brief survey to help us incorporate your voices where it matters...volunteering! In past many of you have signed up to help on committees, and perhaps some of you may have signed up in the past and have not been contacted.

We are working internally to reorganize committees and task forces that will bring more opportunities for members to participate in organization initiatives. I hope you will take a moment to complete the survey so we can know when and how to engage your talent and time.

I am always available to each of you and welcome thoughts and feedback on how we can serve each other better as we grow our businesses.

I hope you all have a great start to the 2nd quarter, and I look forward to "seeing" you on the upcoming Mastermind call, the Quarterly Coffee Break (PG Town Hall) or at one of the many other members events listed above.

Yours in service,

Menda Wright | 2021-2022 Premier Group Board Chair

ANNUAL MEETING RECAP

Premier Group Annual Meeting Celebrates Member Awards, New Board Members And More

Premier Group, a 501(c6) trade association with the mission of contributing to the success and growth of individual member companies, held its annual business meeting on April 27. Traditionally part of a four-day event designed to connect members and strengthen business relationships, like most organizations, Premier Group was challenged to find a new way of conducting business in 2021, and held the meeting virtually. Along with confirming the proposed slate of directors for 2021 and celebrating members with several annual awards, PPAI Interim President Bob McLean joined the event as guest speaker. He welcomed Premier Group members and shared a brief report on the state of the industry.
