Distributors primarily are from Tennessee, Northern Alabama, Northern Georgia, Northern Mississippi, Arkansas and Southern Kentucky. We are governed by a 9 member Board of Directors, which is elected each year by the membership.

WHAT WE DO:

Our mission is to build and strengthen our membership by providing a creative and fun environment for professional development, networking opportunities, resources and benefits to enhance business success. We encourage the highest level of integrity, ethics and professionalism.

TRADESHOWS:

Our annual regional trade show is billed as "the best one day trade show in the industry", and for good reason. This is your chance to see the latest product lines, unveil your own new products, attend educational seminars on timely industry topics, and network with your colleagues. PPAMS members and their sales people attend all show activities free.
