“Women in Print is a great platform for women in our industry to support each other and I am excited to join the Board and to be able to consider projects that enhance and increase networking and connections in the community, especially apply my passion as Patron of Victoria,” says Karagiannis.
Susan Heaney, Chair of Women in Print and Media Super, and Managing Director of Heaney’s Performers in Print welcomes the announcement. “We are delighted to welcome Rita to the Board as the Victorian Patron and look forward to working with her in 2022 as we continue to maintain the momentum for our community.”

“It was a very tough decision for the Board, as we narrowed a strong field of candidates to a final two, who provided strong applications to not only how they would approach the current projects, but furthermore their vision for the future diversity of our industry and how to support all across our sector. Women in Print has a proud history which will continue, as we now build with our Patrons a strong future focus,” concluded Northwood.
