The Association got its start as CASA (Corridor Advertising Specialty Association) back in 1985 with about 10-12 charter members. They recognized the need to build professional relationships between distributors and suppliers, but on a more personal level. Many members agree that the greatest benefits are derived from cordial contacts with their fellow members in the industry. In addition, the meetings allow us a forum to exchange ideas that can help build our businesses. It is important to note that many of the charter members are still involved and play an active role in the Association today. They know NOW what they knew then, “Membership has its Privileges”.

In 1995-1996, the name of our Regional Association was changed to CAPPA (Corridor Area Promotional Products Association). At the time, there was a definite trend within the Industry to try and improve itself as a whole. While there had always been a strong emphasis on education, that became a central focus of our Association. Our motto became “Building on Experience with Education”.
