ISA’s Peer Resource Network Launched

Alexandria, VA (September 9, 2003) The International Sign Association (ISA) has developed a new service for its members—the Peer Resource Network (PRN). The PRN is composed of ISA past chairmen Tom Allen, Fred Gardner, Dan Kasper, Edd Lancaster, Mike Lauretano, Cal Lutz, Tim O'Donnell, Ebbie Phillips, Joe Rickman, Mike St. Onge, Jerry Sussenguth, and Roger Williams. These leaders are available to act as a resource for sign industry professionals as they share their expertise and wisdom.

“ISA’s members are creative, dedicated, and forward thinking,” said ISA President and CEO Dean Garritson. “They know that they will be able to get past any obstacle if they have the right resources available to them—and that includes having access to the experience and ideas of more senior industry leaders.”

The PRN will allow sign company owners to tap into the combined knowledge and experience of ISA’s past chairmen. “The past chairmen have been a tremendous resource for ISA,” said Garritson. “The PRN will be a success thanks to their dedication.”

The PRN will be available through the ISA Web site, www.signs.org, or by e-mailing PRN@signs.org. For more information about the PRN, contact ISA Executive Vice President John Johnson at (703) 836-4012 or at John.Johnson@signs.org.

ISA is a 2,200-member organization composed of manufacturers, users, and suppliers of on-premise signs and sign products produced by more than 400,000 employees in all 50 states and 69 countries. ISA exists to support, promote and improve the $30 billion-a-year sign industry, which sustains the nation’s nearly $3 trillion-a-year retail industry.
