Alexandria, VA, December 18, 2015<\/em> \u2013 Seventeen company leaders, representing every segment of the graphic communications industry, are providing new direction for Epicomm, the Association for Leaders in Print, Mail, Fulfillment, and Marketing Services, as members of the Epicomm Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful that these very busy executives are generously volunteering their time, energy, and expertise to help us find new ways to serve our members with the very best business building programs, services, and products during this time of rapid industry transformation,\u201d says Epicomm President and Chief Executive Officer Ken Garner.<\/p>\n

The Board, which was installed at the Association\u2019s Annual Meeting this fall, has already given its enthusiastic support and provided new impetus for programs such as The Epicomm Experience, the association\u2019s annual conference, to be held in Savannah, Ga., May 16-18, 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough several targeted Board task forces focused on each segment of the industry, as well as companies with 25 or fewer employees, these exceptional volunteer leaders are giving their ideas and insights in support of business management outreach efforts ranging from new regional meetings and an expanded educational webinar series to targeted leadership development programs for industry CEOs, young professionals, and the next generation of company leaders,\u201d says Garner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value they bring to our work is extraordinary,\u201d he says, adding: \u201cThere could be no better way to develop the tools our members need than to have their peers, executives with frontline industry experience, guide our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
