The CROMAG

At the annual SEAHO Conference in Hilton Head, Andi Cross from Postcraft Company presented SEAHO with a beautiful cromag, a hand carved staff made especially for SEAHO by Jim Anderson of Fantagraph. Like the Two-Step blanket, the cromag will be passed from President to President each year at the Closing Banquet, symbolizing the transfer of the care of SEAHO from one President to the next. The cromag will stand on the stage next to the podium at all SEAHO Conference events.

When Andi Cross presented the cromag she read the following note from Jim.

This gift is my way of saying “Thank You” for you letting me be a part of your association for the past 27 plus years.

I have taken great pride in working with SEAHO throughout this time. Many of the members and other vendors have become long time friends as well as business associates. I think that I can speak for all the vendors who have been with you for five years or longer when I say, “SEAHO puts on the best of the exhibitor shows in our industry.”

I leave this CROMAG with you as a reminder for you to continue building the future of SEAHO on the pillars of education.

May God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand. 

Yours Aye,
Jim Anderson

SEAHO is grateful to Jim for the many years he was our Associate and we thank him for this generous and beautiful symbol of his dedication to SEAHO. We will, as he suggests, continue to build the future of SEAHO on the pillars of education.
