Members and Sponsors
The organization has 385 individual members representing 175 separate reprographics firms, including 16 Bronze members, 16 Silver members, and 18 Gold members. In addition IRgA has 20 corporate sponsors. Window decals have been created for members and sponsors, and will be delivered in the mail along with renewal notices in the coming month.
Web Traffic
The IRgA website receives an average of about 2,100 unique visitors per month. Traffic spikes every other Friday, when the IRgA Today newsletter goes out.
International Relations
Relations with the European countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria, are strong and growing. Managing Director Ed Avis said he has reached out to organizations in Japan and South America, and will follow-up on those.
Elections
At least one regular board member and the vendor board member need to be elected by membership in coming months. A nominating committee led by immediate past president Kim Long will begin the process.
