AUGUST MEMBER RETREAT REFRESHED AND RECONNECTED MEMBERS.

Premier Group Network (PGN), a partnering and networking organization for suppliers and distributors in the promo products industry, recently held an in-person retreat for members in Park City, UT.

PGN leaders said the aim of the event was to connect members in a safe environment that allowed for collaboration and solution-building, all with the goal of making everyone collectively more successful.

“While we are so grateful for the virtual events that have sustained us over the past 18 months, we have been craving the collaboration and magic that seems to happen when we are all in the same physical space,” said Menda Wright, PGN board chair, co-founder of Creative Studio Promotions (asi/170976), and part of the dynamic duo that was Counselor’s 2021 Distributor Entrepreneurs of the Year.

Wright added: “Being together gave us the time we needed to reconnect with our partners and friends. From that we are all leaving inspired and armed with new strategies to emerge from this pandemic stronger and more resilient.”
