Internet
Washington, DC, June 1, 2000: The North American Graphic Arts Suppliers
Association (NAGASA) Board of Directors passed a resolution at its April

and e-commerce as an important business tool. The motion, which Joe Thornhill,
Board Chair, announced at the NAGASA Membership Meeting, states:
NAGASA Board Resolution on the Internet
NAGASA supports the existing "bricks and mortar" infrastructure and directs staff to identify and offer services that will enable member businesses to become "bricks and clicks" capable, and thereby be able to effectively compete using the technology of the Internet. In addition, staff should continue its work to educate the membership on both the pitfalls and potential of the Internet.Commenting on the Board action, Greg DuRoss, Director of Member Services, said, "NAGASA is continuing its efforts to assist member dealers, distributors, converters, and manufacturers selling through the channel with their application of e-commerce technology. With this directive the Board is documenting the channel’s intent to implement e-commerce in a deliberate manner that will benefit channel partners."
The North American Graphic Arts Suppliers Association (NAGASA) is the
world’s largest association devoted to the needs of dealers, distributors,
value-added resellers, and manufacturers who sell through these organizations.
NAGASA and its member network represent more than $4.5 billion of traditional
and digital equipment and supplies within the total $6 billion printing
and imaging channel marketplace. With hundreds of member firms, NAGASA
is dedicated to advancing the channel as the source of value added quality
products and services for customers.
