VALHALLA, N.Y. (May 2004) – Because of his never-ending dedication to the industry, two industry organizations have honored Enovation’s Larry Warter with awards. The Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF) of the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF) and the Research & Engineering (R&E) Council of NAPL recently bestowed their organizations’ awards on Warter. “He’s so dedicated to education and training in the graphic communications industry and he’s done a great deal to promote the scholarship fund,” explains Ted Ringman, a member of PGSF’s board of directors. The PGSF honored Warter with the Harold W. Gegenheimer Award, which honors outstanding service by a board member. Gegenheimer is a past PGSF chairman, chairman of the current fundraising campaign and a “major proponent of education and sharing knowledge in the graphic arts industry,” according to Ringman.
