NPSOA is an organization that gives back and invests in the future of the print and sign industry. The national board is excited to announce the creation of a new membership category for students.

The Board of Directors of the National Print and Sign Owners Association (NPSOA) is pleased to announce the establishment of a special student membership category.

“Attracting the next generation of leaders for our industry is a high priority for NPSOA, and this initiative will complement the NPSOA Scholarship Fund, which is currently in its third year,” says Nathaniel Grant, Chairman of the Board.

Creating a Student Membership category will allow NPSOA to:
· Build relationships with future industry leaders at an early stage
· Increase awareness of career opportunities in print and signage, and
· Support succession planning efforts for member companies

Student Membership will be open to individuals currently enrolled in:
· College or university programs
· Technical or trade schools
· High school graphic communications or vocational programs
· Design, marketing, signage, printing, packaging, or related disciplines
· Business and computer science disciplines
Benefits

Student Members will receive a myriad of NPSOA benefits, including:

· Access to a special educational Listserve where students can communicate with contemporaries and members of the NPSOA Board

· Live and archived educational webinars
· Mailed copies of the NPSOA Magazine

There will be no cost for an accredited student to join NPSOA in this new membership category.

“Establishing a Student Membership category represents a proactive investment in the future of our industry and our Association. It will strengthen NPSOA’s visibility among emerging professionals while helping create a pathway from education to industry engagement and, ultimately, long-term membership participation,” added Grant.

The Board of NPSOA encourages all members to identify potential student members for the organization.
