Heaney retires from PIAA board

Long-serving PIAA board member and former president Susan Heaney has retired from the association board after eight years.

According to the PIAA, Heaney is leaving to refocus efforts on her own business, Heaney’s Performers in Print, a Queensland based print provider.

The PIAA says Heaney was an ‘integral part of PIAA’s business transformation strategy’, and incumbent president David Leach praised her for her service to the association.

“Susan has passionately pursued her vision for the PIAA, and has worked countless unpaid hours for and on behalf of the members of the association,” says Leach.

“Susan leaves us immediately to dedicate more time in developing her own business, and will generously continue in her roles as board member for Media Super and honorary position with the National Print Awards.”

Heaney says she looks forward to what the PIAA will offer the printing industry in the coming years.

“I am pleased to have served the industry, leaving the PIAA in a far stronger position than when I joined,” she says.

“This was always my overall objective in taking on a board role. I look forward to continuing to serve, albeit in some different ways and the exciting times ahead for the PIAA in 2016.”

Heaney is the managing director of the business Heaney’s Performers in Print, and was the first female president in the PIAA’s 124-year history.
