OPPA

Everyone remembers the Burn Book...

But at Women in Merch, we're writing something much more valuable.

✨ Client ideas.✨ Sales strategies.✨ Creative campaigns.✨ Goals.✨ The next big opportunity.
That's why every attendee will receive a premium Castelli journal from The Magnet Group.

Because the pages you fill this October 19–21 could become the ideas that grow your business for years to come.

Forget the Burn Book... this is your Money Maker Book.

See you at Women in Merch!

We can’t wait to see you there!

OPPA would like to recognize a couple of key individuals who have contributed so much to our organization over the last year and beyond!

First up, this year's OPPA Hall of Fame inductee... Donna Vorce of First Impressions. We thank Donna for her long list of accomplishments during her time on the OPPA board, and congratulate her on joining an incredible group of individuals vital to OPPA's longevity.

Donna was honored during our OPPA annual meeting and dinner Tuesday night in Columbus, along with Supplier of the Year winner Matt Eysoldt. Matt is always willing to jump in and help our group wherever possible, and is a large supporter of our OPPA events. Clearly we think he's amazing, but so do his distributors.

We thank you both for your constant support and contributions to our organization! Please help us in congratulating Donna and Matt!

Huge thank you to all of our distributor and supplier partners who braved the cold and ice in Cleveland to come out and make Day 2 of our TOM Show incredible! We are so grateful for all of you, and hope you enjoyed all the show had to offer!

OPPA has some awesome new events coming up and we are so excited for what 2026 will bring! Can't wait to see you all in the Spring! Stay tuned for more details and teasers....

The TOM Show is open and ready to welcome all our distributor partners in Columbus at the Ohio Expo Center! Come join us and take a look at all our top suppliers have to offer for 2026!

Cleveland get ready!! We will see you tomorrow!!
