From the Editor: The Power of Associations

I've attended NGPA conferences since 1995 and witnessed its decline from a strong gathering of state printing directors to a small meeting attended by less than a dozen members. The decision to integrate into IPMA was a wise one, and will give NGPA members access to better educational sessions, more networking possibilities and a much wider variety of exhibitors at the conference. (And with one less in-plant conference to support, vendors are no doubt pleased with this move as well.)
