The power of role models cannot be underestimated. They give others encouragement, confidence, and the strength to grow and flourish in their careers. In the printing industry, a role model can influence others to pursue greater creativity, speak at a conference, or even have the confidence to purchase equipment.

Together with Threads of Change co-hosts Kristine Shreve and Cassie Green, this April 2025 episode explores building a diverse trade show environment, supporting underrepresented communities, and the need for role models.
