CANVAS PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION, ZONE 7

In December of 2010 we teamed with PAMA (Professional Awning Manufacturers Association-a division of IFAI) and held a very successful, two-day conference. PAMA hosted an "Employment Strategies" Workshop and the turn out was great!

The Workshop was extremely beneficial and was well worth the trip. Some of the topics were "How to Find and Hire the Best Employees for your Company", "Keeping and Compensating your Employees", "Employment Laws" and "Keeping Employees Safe on the Job". It was definitely very informative.

Andy Morse of Ohio Awning and Greg Schmieler of Laurel Awning Company presented a couple of the symposiums that were offered at the annual IFAI expo Friday morning. The topics were "Successful Showrooms" and "Home Shows". We thank Andy and Greg for their time and preparation. The presentations were followed up with our annual Market Day Trade Show.

Breakfast and lunch were provided on Friday as well as the Business Meeting, PAMA/IFAI presentation & the Supplier Forum presentations. We were able to do this with the suppliers' help and also with the aid of your annual dues. We had a great deal of positive feedback and we look forward to repeating it this November 30th ñ December 2nd. As always, our goal is to provide you with an affordable alternative to the annual IFAI conference. With that being said, we're happy to announce our 107th Annual Convention is being held at the Hilton in Akron, Ohio. This year we're extremely excited to have a fun filled night at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. This will include dinner and cocktails on Thursday evening. Save the date!!

Please make sure when you pay your dues to verify that your contact information is correct. Please keep checking our website at www.canvaszone7.com for updates.

Thank you to all of the suppliers and manufacturers who participated at the 2010 Pittsburgh Annual Convention.

Mark your calendars for this year's conference and thank you for supporting Zone 7!!

Wishing you a prosperous 2011!!
