A regional promotional professionals association

Joining UMAPP sends a clear message to clients, competitors, staff, and the industry that the company is committed to growth, professionalism, and ongoing education. Members work together to promote the industry by meeting with legislators in Washington, D.C., and locally, helping to create positive legislation for promotional products.
