The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has an- nounced the annual updates to its Board of Directors and its Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Joining the pair of governing bodies are Dan Blackburn of Kimberly-Clark Corp and Keith Nagle of Phoseon Tech- nology. “The Association has given so much to me over the last eight years. My first FTA engagement was at FO- RUM 2012 in San Antonio and ever since then, I’ve been hooked,” said Blackburn. “I’m looking forward to rolling up my sleeves, pulling out my stopwatch, getting ink under my fingernails and analyzing some data—and influencing the growth of the flexographic industry.” “This is a tremendous, tremendous honor to me. I’ve spent the last 25 years in our industry, trying to do what- ever I can to push it forward. I really enjoy interacting with FTA and look forward to working to help better the Associ- ation and the industry it serves,” added Nagle. Having completed their terms, Alexander James of Miraclon Corp—exiting as FFTA Board Chair—and James Stone of Fortis Solutions Group—exiting as FTA Vice Chair, Education—relinquish their seats on the Boards.

Filling Stone’s position is Harper Corporation of America Techni- cal Director Sean Teufler. “As I rotate off the Board after six years of service, I’d like to take a moment to thank FTA and FFTA, Mark Cis- ternino and his wonderful staff, for their diligent support and hard work in keeping the organization humming along through many challenges,” said James. “Participating as a committee member, a board member and finishing up my last two years as chair of FFTA have been experiences I’ll always cherish.” The remainder of the FTA Board of Directors and FFTA Board of Trustees is comprised of Doug Bartlett, FTA Pres- ident Mark Cisternino, JP Delage of Master Packaging Inc (FFTA Vice Chair, Scholarships), Jeff Dietz of Kolbus Amer- ica/Hycorr (FTA Vice Chair, Suppliers), Johnny Dye of Ac- credo Packaging (FTA Board Chair), Kim Madigan of Smyth Companies LLC (FTA Vice Chair, Printers/Converters/ CPCs), Ron Premo of Printpack Inc (FFTA Vice Chair, So- licitations), Geoff Roznak of Further North LLC (FFTA Vice Chair, Project Evaluations), Jennye Scott of Berry Global (FTA Board Chair-Elect), Kristen Shields of Graymills, Paul Teachout of Anderson & Vreeland Inc. and Dale Walbert of G3 Enterprises (FTA/FFTA Treasurer).
