This month, PPAI recognizes Suzan Bolski, MAS, chief executive officer of San Tan Valley, Arizona, distributor Anything Goes Promotions, Inc. as the April PPB Volunteer of the Month. The Association’s PPB Volunteers of the Month have dedicated their time to the progress and fulfilling the charge of a committee, advisory group, work group or task force on which they serve.

Bolski serves on the PPAI Women’s Leadership Conference Work Group. She was nominated by Stacy Riddler, PPAI manager of professional development and staff liaison to the Professional Development Committee. Riddler says, “Suzan is currently serving in her third and final year on the PPAI Women’s Leadership Conference Work Group. She has proven to be a leader who truly cares about the work of PPAI and the education that PPAI offers. She has actively supported the industry through her personal involvement not only on this work group but on other committees as well.”

The PPAI Women’s Leadership Conference Work Group supplements the work of the Professional Development Committee for the Women’s Leadership Conference.

Riddler adds, “Suzan has been instrumental in the collaborative development of the Women’s Leadership Conference program, always going above and beyond her work group role by taking on additional responsibilities and tasks, providing additional ideas for the program and more importantly, being a constant ‘cheerleader’ and promoter of the program, showing other women the value of the Women’s Leadership Conference experience. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and her commitment and support are truly appreciated.”
