PPAI has brought back a scholarship that will help one member of a regional association attend a PPAI event this year.
- The scholarship is open to all PPAI members who are also members of their local regional association.
“Scholarships were a direct ask from our regional community, and PPAI listened,” said Kara Keister, MAS, CEO of Social Good Promotions and Regional Relations Committee delegate to the PPAI Board of Directors.
