The Gala supports the work of the Future of Flexo Initiative
OMET, Durst and 21 other members of the flexo industry have promoted the Future of Flexo’s “Join the Network Gala”, with an opening ceremony scheduled to commence on Wednesday, 26 September at the close of the second day of Labelexpo Americas in Rosemont, IL.
The Gala, which includes a black-tie optional dinner, a raffle, live music and the opportunity to test drive a Ferrari, supports the work of the Future of Flexo Initiative, a philanthropic consortium that helps university students studying flexo and celebrates the steadfast and long-term commitment of consortium members.
Coinciding with Labelexpo Americas 2018, the Gala will highlight the urgent need for recruitment and proper training for the future of flexography.
Claudio Semenza, the Future of Flexo chair, noted, ‘The 2018 Gala is not just a celebration of the successes of our giving community, but a celebration of the recipients of the donations that our community makes. The campaign contributions that have been made and the proceeds from the evening’s raffle items will all directly benefit the Future of Flexo. It is paramount that we all work together to grow and mentor young people, create awareness for industrial jobs and develop a pipeline of qualified workforce members for the future.’
