Mark Shinn, MAS, president of Newcastle, Washington-based Incentives West, said, “The idea of Promotional Professionals Pay It Forward Day only came up in August, and I think it is remarkable that with a grass-roots effort from a core group of industry volunteers that we were able to make an impact in such a short amount of time. The goal was to bring all facets of the industry—from suppliers, distributors, service providers and regional, national and international associations—together through volunteerism to build a sense of community within the industry and to make a positive impact in the process—and I think we achieved it. We have reports that our idea pulled together some of our professionals who worked alongside others inside our industry and integrated in with other groups that continue to do many great things inside our communities. As word spreads about the event and we have more time to engage the promotional professionals community, imagine what can be accomplished in 2011.”
