One Association. One Community. A More Sustainable Future.
Great things happen when our industry comes together!
Graphic Media Alliance invites all members across Ohio, Michigan, and Northern Kentucky to join us on Thursday, November 5, for our All-Region Annual Meeting, a FREE opportunity to connect with fellow members, hear important Association updates, and get a first look at an exciting new initiative launching in 2027.
Introducing GMASustainability(+)
As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful value to members, GMA is preparing to launch GMASustainability(+), a new initiative designed to help printing and graphic communications companies explore practical opportunities to advance their sustainability efforts.
One of the key components of this initiative is our new partnership with PrintReleaf, an innovative organization helping businesses measure their paper consumption and support verified reforestation efforts around the world.
Special Guest: Jordan Darragh, PrintReleaf
We're excited to welcome Jordan Darragh of PrintReleaf, who will introduce members to the program and explain how participating companies can:
- Measure and track their paper consumption and associated environmental impact.
- Support global reforestation through verified tree planting.
- Strengthen their sustainability story with customers and stakeholders.
- Take advantage of exclusive GMA member pricing, with tiered savings based on usage.
Whether your company already has a sustainability strategy or is just beginning to explore opportunities, this presentation will offer valuable insights into how environmental responsibility and business value can work together.
Your Association. Your Voice. Your Future.
In addition to our featured presentation, members will receive important updates on Graphic Media Alliance, learn more about upcoming programs and initiatives, and have an opportunity to connect with colleagues from across our regions.
