Gaddin appointed treasurer for Women in Print

Print industry professional Stephanie Gaddin has been appointed treasurer for Women in Print, replacing exiting board officer and treasurer, Sarah Moore, who will stay on the NSW committee.

Gaddin has been in the print industry for twelve years, in a variety of communications and technical roles and, says Women in Print, brings a wealth of skills and knowledge about the relationship of print and technology. A long-time member and supporter of Women in Print, she is currently the managing director of bespoke digital and technology agency Rocking Rose.

Gaddin is also the Australian representative for International Print Day, a global movement to celebrate, highlight and promote all forms of print and visual communication annually.

Susan Heaney, chair, Women in Print said: "With Sarah stepping down from the Board, we wanted to look to someone who has been involved with Women in Print over the years and Stephanie with her experience in the Breakfast Series last year with The Real Media Collective and before that with Print and Visual Communications Association, her industry knowledge and dedication with her skills was a perfect fit. We thank Sarah and wish her well, and we welcome Stephanie into the team."

"Sarah and the Visual Connections team have made significant contribution over many years across the Women in Print program, for which we cannot thank Sarah and the team enough." 

Moore has worked across the Women in Print Breakfast Series for 8 years and sat on the established independent board since inception in 2021. She will step down this month and continue to support Women in Print with her committee representation on the NSW committee.

Deborah Burgess, managing director, Bright Print Group and NSW Patron, Women in Print, said: “We are lucky to have Sarah working with us on the NSW committee, she adds so much insight and thinking to running the event, I simply couldn’t manage without her support. That said, we understand with PacPrint and a busy year ahead, recognising when we over-commit and being able to say ‘no’ is an important skill all women need to learn. I cannot thank Sarah enough for her time and effort at Women in Print, she has been such a wonderful colleague to work with, and in my case, continue to work with."

Moore saud, “I really do love Women in Print; it is a much needed and highly valuable program for our industry. Each year it is something I genuinely look forward to becoming involved with and will miss the board involvement. That said, I will continue to work with the NSW Committee and provide as much support as I can, and I look forward to continuing my involvement alongside Visual Connections. 

Kellie Northwood, CEO of The Real Media Collective and executive secretary, Women in Print says, “Sarah has been terrific to work with across the Women in Print board and I wish her all the very best with her ongoing career in the industry. We are hoping to keep Sarah close to the Women in Print community as a wonderful talent and I am sure the NSW Committee will continue to use her skills and expertise. I welcome also, Stephanie to the board.

"Steph and I have worked together for many many years across industry programs from International Print Day to Women in Print and everything in between. Steph will take on the role as treasurer, but also provide strong digital marketing support to the program which will be a wonderful skill to include to the board."
