Pettaras is new GASAA president

Filling the shoes of former GASAA president David Leach is a task Digitalpress’ Theo Pettaras is keen to tackle. As the elected 2012 president he aims to promote the organisation as a relevant resource of information for the industry.

Stepping up from a long-term executive committee member, Pettaras intends to continue Leach’s legacy and raise the association’s industry profile. “These indeed will be big shoes to fill.

“President David Leach guided so many lasting GASAA initiatives during his two-year term and maintained strong and open relations with the other associations in our industry,” he says.

Honoured with his new post atop the Graphic Arts Services Association of Australia, Pettaras (pictured) says he looks forward to sharing his wealth of industry knowledge and the benefits that GASAA membership can offer.

The founder of Digitalpress is currently in the U.S. as a keynote speaker for PODi (Print on Demand Initiative), talking about direct marketing and personalisation within digital print.
