Keeping with the PA Community theme, this year we will offer a PA MarketPlace for goods or services you want to market to those attending the CAPA Conference.

The 6 foot table in the MarketPlace is free. All we ask is that 20% of your sales go to the CAPA Political Action Committee (PAC) and that the product and/or service is safe and in good taste, of course. At last year’s conference, one of the PA Programs sold t-shirts and a PA who makes jewelry sold her beautiful handy-work. Both gave 20% of the sales to the CAPA PAC and it was quite successful for all involved. We thought we would expand on that concept.

Many PAs and/or their spouses have businesses which could benefit from sales to CAPA Conference attendees. We know of a PA who makes beautiful soaps. Another who has a candle business and one who has a sign business. The authors or book collectors out there can sell their books. Maybe your mate has a business and would like to fill some of their time selling while you are in the lectures.

This is kind of an experiment on our part. The idea of a MarketPlace at the CAPA Conference could be wildly successful – and we hope it is -- or a bust. However, we thought we would throw the opportunity out there and see what happens.

Please spread the word to your colleagues, friends and loved ones. For complete rules and information, please contact the CAPA office at (714) 427-0321.
