2019 ISA Elite Class Announced

The International Sign Association (ISA; Alexandria, VA) has announced its 2019 ISA Elite class, a program that highlights the next generation of sign industry leaders.

Per ISA, of the 37 participants, 27 represent companies that are new to the program. Their occupations range from owners, sign creation and installation, sales, marketing, product development, to roles in planning, recruiting and training. The first meeting for the 2019 ISA Elite will be at the ISA Sign Expo in Las Vegas in late April.

“Each year, the ISA Elite bring a level of excitement to the industry,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “This group, in particular, will benefit from the many diverse connections they will be able to make.
