Hello SAAC Community,
We are officially in the fourth quarter! Fall is in the air—although you wouldn’t necessarily know it by looking at the thermometer—and the holiday buying and selling season is well underway.
We have two more in-person events planned for this year, and I hope you’ll join us for both!
October 20 – Lunch & Learn at Logomark
Join us for a factory tour and Lunch & Learn at Logomark. It’s a great opportunity to see behind the scenes, learn more about one of our industry partners, and connect with fellow SAAC members. Register today!
Our Annual Members Meeting & Networking Event at Brew Haven in Ontario
We’ll wrap up the year with a fun networking event at Brew Haven in Ontario, which will also include our Annual Members Meeting.
Be sure to visit our Events page for all the details and to register. I look forward to seeing many of you there! Register today!
As many of you know, Bob Levitt is no longer serving as Executive Director of SAAC. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Bob for his time, dedication, and contributions to SAAC, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
But I want to assure you that it is business as usual here at SAAC! We have a dedicated and engaged Board of Directors, and we are already hard at work planning for 2027 and looking toward the future of our association.
As part of that process, several of our board members will be completing their terms and stepping off the Board. I am incredibly grateful for their years of service, hard work, and dedication to SAAC. Their contributions have helped shape our association, and we are thankful for the time and energy they have given.
With that, we will have several opportunities for new members to join the Board. Have you ever thought about helping steer SAAC into the future? Serving on the Board is a wonderful opportunity to get more involved, bring your ideas to the table, and help shape the direction of our association.
If you’re interested, I encourage you to consider putting your name forward. Submit a Nomination
Alongside our Board of Directors is an amazing, hardworking woman who has been an important part of SAAC for many years—Stacy Midkiff. Stacy has often been the “woman behind the curtain,” helping keep things moving and providing her knowledge, expertise, and support behind the scenes. She is stepping into an interim role to assist the Board as we navigate this next chapter. Many of you have spoken with or emailed Stacy over the years, so you already know the tremendous industry knowledge and experience she brings to SAAC. Thank you, Stacy, for stepping up and supporting our association!
Finally, I want to thank all of you—our SAAC members—for your continued support, engagement, and confidence in this organization. SAAC exists because of its members. Your participation, ideas, involvement, and support are what make this association special.
I am incredibly grateful to be part of this community, and I am excited about what the future holds. I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events and to seeing what 2027 brings for SAAC!
Warmly,
Jacque Martin
President, SAAC
