The ISA Elite Class of 2022, the sign and graphics industry program for next-generation leaders, has been named. The class will gather at the upcoming ISA International Sign Expo 2022 for targeted networking and education. They will meet again in the fall at ISA headquarters for a leadership conference.
In addition, they will have the opportunity to connect with previous ISA Elite cohorts. The program was launched in 2015 to help the next generation of leaders grow professionally with other emerging leaders.
“ISA Elite alumni maintain active connections with each other and often say how they’ve benefited from these personal and professional relationships,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “In addition, any time ISA and our Affiliated Associations ask for volunteers, they often are among the first to step up. Their commitment to the industry and to each other is inspiring. I know that this upcoming class will step into a powerful network and help it continue to grow.”
