A packed boardroom at Printing Industries’ Auburn headquarters hosted often robust discussion as more than a dozen issues ranging from workers compensation to finance and terms and conditions of trade were raised for consideration.

The meeting spent more than two hours identifying and prioritising the issues they want Printing Industries to focus on in NSW. The gathering followed Printing Industries’ constitutional changes which came into effect from January 1, abolishing state based councils in favour of industry driven issue-specific sub groups.

Philip Andersen CEO of Printing Industries said that following identification of the initial policy agenda for NSW, the membership would be invited to nominate representatives for sub-committees to drive the issues forward.

He says, “We are looking for our industry’s most talented and experienced people to take up the challenge of representation with these four core issue groups to help achieve the desired outcomes for our industry.

“While the industry is progressing through challenging times, I believe that Printing Industries new structure offers each member the opportunity to translate their opinions and collective knowledge into actions that can make a real difference.

The sub-group structure also allows for the group to invite the participation of individuals identified as possessing specialist skills or knowledge that can contribute to achieving its objective, according to the Association.

The meeting also endorsed Peter Carrigan as the inaugural Chairman of the Advisory Body.
