Now that the U.S. presidential election results are in, what issues will impact the print industry? Women in Print Alliance Director Lisbeth Lyons Black held a live webinar on Nov. 14 with four female industry advocates to discuss areas such as sustainability initiatives, tariffs and trade agreements.
The panel featured Marie Clarke, president of the Envelope Manufacturers Association; Beth Hughes, vice president of trade and customs policy at the American Apparel & Footwear Association; Jocelyn Kelly, vice president of communications at the Consumer Brands Association; and Julie Philp, senior partner of ACG Advocacy, on behalf of PRINTING United Alliance. Black and the four panelists have extensive experience lobbying for the print and print-adjacent industries at local and national levels of government. Here are 10 key takeaways from the discussion.
