Throughout its history, Print & Graphic Communications Association has provided programs and services in support of its membership and the broader graphic communications industry. Member benefits are reviewed regularly by Association membership, leaders, and staff in an effort to ensure that the organization remains relevant and our members receive a positive return on their investment. This process begins with a regular “Member Needs Survey” which is combined with industry information and developed into an organizational plan which becomes the pathway to move forward.

This process has contributed significantly to the tremendous value proposition that is available to Print & Graphic Communications Association membership.
