2009 Printing Industry Hall of Fame: Joy of the Journey

For the past 10 years, Pontillo has been an active participant within the Web Offset Association (WOA) and its board of directors; he served a three-year stint as chairman. Previously, he was on the GATF Innovations selection committee and a number of other task forces.

The WOA is near and dear to Pontillo's heart. "It's more than the camaraderie," he says. "It's networking with fellow printers and understanding that we're all working toward the same goals—improving the business, improving technologies. It helps you grow."
