The SGIAA held its Annual General Meeting at Sydney's Royal Oak Hotel on Tuesday 19th March of this year, where the motion was carried to change the name of the SGIAA from “Screen and Graphic Imaging Association of Australia" to "Specialty Graphic Imaging Association of Australia".
Clem Johnson, President of the SGIAA, has addressed the issue:
"As technology has evolved, the SGIAA membership has broadened to include a range of organisations seeking to take advantage of the extensive technical resources we offer through our international affiliations with FESPA and SGIA.
“While companies such as signmakers, graphic display, apparel and promotional companies serve diverse markets, they all add value through digital, screen and other diverse forms of graphic imaging.
“The SGIAA seeks to ensure that our members have a technical and business advantage in the area of graphic imaging, regardless of the markets they serve.”
It has taken a few months for the legal side of the name change to take effect. The SGIAA is pleased to now officially announce the change of name.
