NPGA Wins TRENDY Awards

NPGA is delighted to announce it received a Bronze TRENDY Award for its video introducing the new NPGAid disaster relief program for member company employees. NPGAid provides confidential emergency assistance to NPGA member company employees in financial need following a natural disaster or personal hardship.

The video was created to raise awareness of NPGAid among NPGA’s membership. The Bronze TRENDY award recognizes how effectively the video draws viewers in with its emotional and heartwarming content, communicates why NPGA created this program, and how people can help. The video features NPGA President & CEO Steve Kaminski, Paraco Chief Operating Officer Christina Armentano, and North Carolina-based NPGA member companies hard at work. NPGA is thrilled to have been recognized for this compelling video which was produced by the team at Estland. The video, along with a one-page flyer and digital graphics, is part of the  communications tool kit available to members to use to get out the word about NPGAid.

NPGA also received a Bronze TRENDY Award for the best promotional item for the limited-edition Vineyard Vines tote bag embellished with the PropanePAC logo. The tote was given exclusively to PropanePAC donors to recognize contributions of $1,075 or more with a high-quality, stylish, and useful gift.

Steve Kaminski was on hand to accept the awards at the 46^th Annual Salute to Association Excellence luncheon on March 5, 2026 in Washington, DC.
