“It’s always an honor to continue to work with such great people and home party companies. This year we [my business colleagues, along with our Affiliate members in the manufacturing industry], are really excited about the expansion of educational programs for our consultants and are looking forward to continuing our pursuit to identify and promote ethical business practices in our industry”, Valan said regarding the addition of new certification webinars, and expected growth of the organization in the upcoming year.

Serving Adult Party Plan Companies
CAHPA was founded to address general industry ethical concerns to large Party Plan companies, and has since expanded to include enhanced business training for field consultants, product consultations for Affiliate members, organization wide buying power and commitments and personalized Affiliate sessions.
Serving as ‘seal of approval’ for end consumers to base their purchase and business opportunity decisions on, CAHPA members adhere to strict self-imposed guidelines of ethics and business practices. “Before, customers were shooting in the dark hoping the company they were shopping with and working for was reputable, now they have a resource that does that for them, and provides them confidence when they make choices,” Valan says.
