The holiday buying season is officially here! Distributors are busy finding everything their client’s desire. Suppliers are completing virtuals, spec samples, and orders to fulfill all the client's wishes. MLR & Factory Reps are showing here, zooming there, helping tie them all up in a bow! As we move into this hectic holiday season, consider supporting the SAAC suppliers who invested in making the SAAC Expo 2023 in August such a HUGE success! 

The 2023 SAAC Holiday Party is back! Join SAAC on Thursday, December 7th, at the roof top restaurant, WEST located in Hotel Angeleno in Los Angeles. 

• Networking from 5 to 6 pm
• Dinner and Program start at 6 pm

The evening will feature the installation of the 2024 SAAC Board of Directors, networking, food, and special sneak peek of upcoming products from SAAC Supplier Members. We look forward to celebrating the holidays with you this year. Remember, BOOK EARLY, as last year we SOLD OUT!

To help your SAAC Board lead better, several members attended the PPAI Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) this month in Grapevine, Texas. LDW provided the opportunity to attend education sessions, share ideas, and boost relationships with other industry regional associations. This year, I learned many tips on running a successful organization, utilizing the talents of its board, and listening to its members. More than anything, I was reminded that SAAC is more than just a tradeshow or networking event. It's about relationships with like-minded peers and growing our region together. I am very thankful to this year's board of directors for all their help.
