Meredith Darke tipped to be next GAMAA President
She will take the chair from Dr David Rands for a period of two years that will include next year’s PacPrint, which is owned 50/50 by GAMAA and Printing Industries. Recognised as a strong supporter of the association’s education initiatives she is expected to strongly promote the GAMAA Scholarship programme during her term.
Now in its second year, the scholarships are one of the most successful education schemes for the industry, facilitating post-graduate study in disciplines that are deemed useful to the industry. Currently there are nine scholarship students, with another five already graduated. Names of the next intake of candidates will be announced in December.
Meredith is Group National Marketing Manager for Intergrafica Print & Pack (IPP) and GSA, one of the largest suppliers to the industry. A hopeless Italianophile, she is an inveterate traveller and can usually be found in Europe over the Christmas break.
GAMAA is the representative body of the graphic merchants with 34 corporate members, which includes almost all the major supply companies.
