The Ben Franklin Honor Society of PIA Inducts Seven Exemplary Industry Leaders

Collins has served the Georgia printing industry for many decades. After serving several terms on the PIAG, then PAG, Board of Directors, he was elected Chairman in 1984. One of the highlights of his service to PIAG was the founding of the PIAG Educational Foundation in which he played a major role. Today the Foundation provides career scholarship grants, sponsors the SkillsUSA competition, and supports the many PrintED-accredited schools in Georgia. The national PrintED Accreditation Program, created in Georgia and administered by the Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation, was one of Collins’ many contributions to the industry.
