Quarterly Newsletter - April 2022

 CAAMP NEWS

Hello CAAMPers! Well, we were back at it with a full, restriction-free Carolina Connection Spring Show a couple of weeks ago at the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC. This was a huge success, thanks to all our supplier and distributor members.

Our overall attendance was up across the board, and some even said it was the best CAAMP show in years! I just wanted to thank our terrific Board of Directors and of course, our members.

We organized the first happy CAAMPer Awards Reception & Dinner since 2018 and it sold out completely. It was such a blast and a perfect celebration for the eve of the show.

The regional associations are so important to our industry and for us in the Carolinas, we are so happy to be back to business as usual. We strive to connect the best supplier partners with the most active distributor sales teams in the region and provide a top-notch experience for all.

On behalf of the CAAMP Board, we simply Thank You so much for being a member of this valuable association and we hope that you will continue to support CAAMP throughout the rest of 2022 and beyond!

If you would like to be more involved by volunteering for a committee or running for the Board in 2023, please contact us

Your 2022 CAAMP President,

Daniel Jenne, CAS
