It is always great to see the industry growing and thriving with everyone supporting the next generation of print.

Another incredible evening of celebrating PRINT! Thank you to everyone who joined us in downtown Cleveland last night to celebrate the best of the Northern Region and, as always, to all of our sponsors who have helped make this event a success. Congratulations once again to Travis Mlakar, who joined a long list of esteemed members in the Hall of Distinction.

Networking, education, insurance and buying programs are all common reasons for joining an industry’s association, but like any business decision, becoming a member of Graphic Media Alliance should be evaluated based on each company’s assessment of its potential Return On Investment (ROI) for its dues dollar. Of course, every membership needs to take into consideration intangible benefits including networking opportunities, fellowship with other graphic communications firms and having a trusted confidant at the Association’s office to discuss business issues.
