PIA/GATF Names Ron and Katherine Harper Education Awards of Excellence Industry Winners

The Harpers’ generosity is legendary in flexo education. The Harpers helped pilot the first Flexo in High Schools program (now Flexo in Education) in the early 1990s, filling a void in vocational education for youth and establishing a trained future workforce for flexography. In 2002 they created the Flexo College of the Year Award, which is presented annually during the Flexographic Technical Association Forum. Their many generous donations of anilox rolls, both in the U.S. and abroad, provide quality resources for students and allow graduates to be better prepared for the work force.
