Ideas to Celebrate PANAW 2026
- Form a team to help with celebration ideas and planning. Many hands make light work—and lead to more ideas on how to celebrate.
- Order PANAW gifts at www.jimcolemanstore.com/panaw/ to thank your colleagues and promote our specialty.
- Set up a greeting table with PANAW gifts and ASPAN literature.
- Offer colleagues lunch, snacks, or dessert to celebrate. Celebrate with something different every day of the week.
- Plan a department Open House. Offer cake, coffee and/or candy.
- Place advance announcements in employee publications, emails, newsletters, and social media, if available. Contact the ASPAN National Office at dhanisch@aspan.org to request use of official PANAW ads.
- ASPAN Components: Plan a celebration at the local, district, or state level.
