The Upper Midwest Association of Promotional Products (UMAPP) is at an inflection pointand were looking for someone who wants to build, not just manage. UMAPP is a trade association whose members are companies established in the promotional products industry. We connect industry professionals by hosting trade shows, education and social events, in addition to providing tools and resources to enrich professional knowledge.
This is not a traditional Executive Director role. It comes with direct access to industry leaders and decision-makers, high visibility to build your own reputation, real flexibility in how you operate and grow the organization, and a genuine opportunity to shape the future of a regional industry association.
Were looking for an early-to-mid career operator who is hungry to make a name for themselves within the promotional products industrysomeone who sees this as a platform to grow a community, expand an industry, and take real ownership of outcomes.

Is early in their career (roughly 38 years of experience) and ready for more ownership
Has experience in events, marketing, associations, or community-building
Doesnt wait for directionfigures it out and moves
Enjoys both strategy and execution (youll be doing both)
Wants visibility, responsibility, and a chance to build something meaningful
Thinks in terms of growth, not maintenance

Who This Role Is NOT For

Someone looking to strictly manage or delegate work
Someone expecting a highly structured environment with defined playbooks
Someone who prefers status quo over growth and experimentation

Tools & Skills That Help

Comfortable with QuickBooks, Excel, email marketing platforms, and basic website management
Strong communicator (written and verbal)
Organized, but not rigid
Bonus: experience in the promotional products or events industry

Compensation

Base salary: $55,000$70,000 (depending on experience)
Performance bonus: 515% tied to membership growth, event profitability, sponsorship revenue, and member engagement
Travel and industry conference participation covered, including the PPAI Leadership Development Conference
