ASPT Improves Nomination Process for New Members - SGIA group makes it easier to submit nominee information before June 1 deadline

Fairfax, Virginia — The Academy of Screen Printing, SGIA’s elite group of experts who promotes technical advancements in the screen printing industry, recently streamlined its nomination process for new members.

The newly enhanced submission form — downloadable at SGIA.org, Keyword: ASPT — lists all of the specific contribution information ASPT needs to consider new industry members.
