PPAI Names Slagle 2016 Hall Of Fame Inductee



August 20, 2015

Promotional Products Association Intl. (PPAI), Nashville, Tenn., recently announced during its North American Leadership Conference in Nashville it will induct Steve Slagle, past president and CEO of PPAI, into its Hall of Fame. 



Slagle will be honored at the Chairman’s Leadership Dinner during The PPAI Expo, which will be held Jan. 10-14, 2016, in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.


During his tenure at PPAI from 1996-2012, Slagle oversaw many refinements, expansions and additions to PPAI’s organization and programs, and his legacy reflects and recognizes the impact his achievements continue to have today, according to the association. During this time, PPAI relocated its Expo to Las Vegas after 26 consecutive years in Dallas; accelerated its efforts in public policy advocacy to represent the industry’s positions at the state and federal levels; and established the resources and guidance necessary to help members manage complex and difficult government manufacturing quality and safety regulations.


In his role as PPAI’s president and CEO, Slagle represented the association in meetings with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Occupational Health & Safety Administration and U.S. Postal Service, and he met with members of Congress and their staffs to seek cooperation and action on a variety of issues pertinent to PPAI’s members. He also has served as a keynote speaker or educational presenter at more than 200 regional association meetings, PPAI professional educational conferences, incentive and recognition industry organization conferences, PPAI member-sponsored sales meetings, PPAI trade show education days, and international promotional products association conferences in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany and Hong Kong.
