Welcome to Akron for our 107th annual convention!

On behalf of our entire committee, I would like to welcome you to “The Rubber Capital of the World.” Akron is also one of the nation’s pioneer cities producing the first championship teams for the American Professional Football Association (National Football League) and the National Basketball League (National Basketball Association).

Thank you for joining us for our expanded 2-1/2 day program! We have attempted to put together a convention that combines valuable information & fun! We will have our usual market day and programs about graphics & marketing while enjoying dinners & touring the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

A special thanks to our host, Gary Damerow from Tri Vantage and CPA Zone 7 Secretary/Treasurer, Kisha Moldovan as well as all of the officers, active and associate directors involved in making this convention a success!

We are very appreciative of the many supporters of this convention both suppliers & manufacturers whom without would not make this possible.

We hope you enjoy yourselves and take something away from this experience and keep you coming back year after year!

Very Truly Yours,

Ellis Stokes President,
Canvas Products Association Zone 7
