SA International (SAi) recently announced the establishment of The International Sign & Printmakers Guild (ISPG) to further the development and growth of professional sign and print providers.

According to SAi, the International Sign & Printmakers Guild is a member-led organization dedicated to helping sign and print businesses address their primary challenges: reaching new customers and reducing costs. The company also reports that all members must abide by the organization’s code of ethics that promote professional integrity and excellence, symbolized by the ISPG Coat of Arms.

SAi is the founding sponsor for the organization. Additional support will be provided by other manufacturer sponsors in the sign and print industry. Sponsors will cover costs of the organization so members benefit from new business growth with little or no cost.

Mark Stevens has been hired as the executive director, and an advisory board has been appointed. Membership recruitment will begin early in 2013. For more information about ISPG, visit www.SignPrintGuild.org.
