Printing Industries Alliance Franklin Event to be Held September 10, 2008

Although the Franklin Award for Distinguished Service has been given out for over 50 years, the Power of Communications Award was established in 1971 to provide industry recognition of those who have demonstrated positive influence and creative excellence in the area of graphic communications.

The John Peter Zenger Medal was established in 2007 to honor an individual employed in the graphics community within the PIA territory footprint (New York State, northern New Jersey and northwestern Pennsylvania) who has demonstrated exemplary character in the form of selfless courage, charity, activism or service (community or military).
