The Women in Print Alliance (part of Printing United Alliance, a member-based printing and graphic arts association in North America) has announced a series of initiatives designed to honor the contributions of women in the printing industry throughout March for Women’s History Month. These programs aim to foster professional growth, facilitate meaningful connections, and advocate for increased diversity and inclusion within the sector, according to a release.
“This year’s Women’s History Month theme – Women Educating & Inspiring Generations – is especially relevant to women in print,” says Lisbeth Lyons Black, director of Women in Print Alliance. “With four generations of women currently in the workforce, there are tremendous opportunities to learn from, and inspire, one another.
“The theme is also very much on point with the programs and services that Women in Print Alliance offers its members, not just in March, but all year long. From mentorship podcasts to professional development workshops to community-building events and advocating for expanded educational opportunities, we’re connecting women in print to honor the past while looking optimistically to the future.”
This month, the Women in Print Alliance will launch a comprehensive online Membership Directory to facilitate idea-sharing and learning exchanges across generations of women in the industry.
Through this year, the Women in Print Alliance is hosting regional meet-ups in select cities and at the annual Women in Print Luncheon, taking place in Orlando, Florida, at Printing United Expo. This year’s luncheon will be held on October 23, featuring keynote speaker Joan Moon.
