After a two-year hiatus from the printing industry, Michael Makin is returning to print with the National Print and Sign Owners Association (NPSOA) as a senior consultant.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michael back to NPSOA,” said Nathaniel Grant, Chairman of the Board. “His vast print experience and business acumen will be a great asset to our association as we move into the future.”

Makin is no stranger to the organization. For several years he leant his expertise to assist NPSOA with strategic planning, conference management and governance. He also was a regularly featured keynote presenter and panel moderator.

“In his new role, Michael’s primary focus will be on member outreach and engagement,” noted Grant.

Makin served as the President and CEO of Printing Industries of America (PIA) for almost 20 years before its merger with PRINTING United Alliance. Prior to that he was the President of the Canadian Printing Industries Association. He also served as the Chairman of the World Print and Communications Forum for more than 10 years.

Since retiring from PRINTING United Alliance in 2021 Makin has focused his time on social media consulting and business development with a select group of clients outside the printing industry on a part-time basis.

He has also become a social media celebrity in his own right with a popular following on channels such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube with more than 700,000 followers and 60 million video views.
