In Their Own Words
As someone who has been fortunate enough to work in this industry for the bulk of my working life, I know first-hand how rewarding a career in the graphic communications industry can be. I believe that continuing to attract new talent to enhance what is already a dynamic and continuously evolving business, is vitally important to our collective future.

By serving on the Board, he helps strengthen a reliable bridge between education and industry, so students can pursue training with greater confidence and enter the workforce prepared to contribute from day one.
Inspiring Industry Involvement
Leadership is also about bringing others along, and Jason helps reinforce why participation matters. When donors, educators, and companies invest in scholarships, they are investing in safer shops, smarter workflows, stronger customer relationships, and a deeper bench of talent for the future. His example encourages the print community to stay connected, to share knowledge, and to back students who are ready to build meaningful careers.
