Great Lakes Association Merges Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin Groups

The Great Lakes Graphic Association, to be headquartered in Pewaukee, WI, will support members and the print industry through state directors in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and will strengthen the regional and national identity and market position of this important industry.

James Sandstrom, president of HM Graphics (West Allis, WI) and Chairman of PIW’s board of directors, believes that combining the associations to form a new organization will help better serve members. “Combining the strength of the associations in Illinois/Indiana and Wisconsin to create a new organization makes sense, especially in an industry that continues to consolidate and evolve. The new organization will increase value and expand services to its members, which are especially appealing,” said Sandstrom.
