Newsletters ... The bimonthly PAMP NEWS keeps members informed about important state and national news in the meat and poultry industry, trends and association activities directly affecting their businesses. Plant members have the opportunity to place free classified ads in the newsletter and suppliers can advertise their products to the members.

Membership Directory - A complete listing of all members and suppliers is published each year.

Networking ... Members communicate with each other for problem solving and mutual aid.

Annual PAMP Convention ... The convention is held at Penn State during the month of April/May and is the highlight of the year. This event features educational sessions which address crucial issues and new techniques in the meat industry. An Exhibition features equipment and supplies from leading suppliers of the meat and poultry industry. Fun and fellowship are part of it!

Processed Product Competition ... This contest is held in conjunction with the annual convention to give plant members the opportunity to have their smoked, cured and innovative products judged and rated. Winners take advantage of their awards by gaining media publicity  and by displaying their awards.

Continuing Education ... In cooperation with Penn State University’s Animal Science Department and Food Science Department, educational seminars are made available to PAMP members during the year.

Representation ... PAMP representatives meet regularly with USDA, the PA Dept. of Agriculture and provide updates to keep members abreast of the rules & regulations.

Prestige ... Being a member of an industry trade association builds customer confidence and shows that you are an up-to-date, progressive firm. PAMP is associated with the American Association of Meat Processors, the national meat trade organization representing small firms.
