Garden City, NY – Printing industry veteran Roger P. Gimbel joins a select group as a lifetime Electronic Document Professional (EDP).

This achievement requires initial certification and recertifying five times, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to professional growth, knowledge-sharing, and continuous education. Very few reach this pinnacle, and Roger’s accomplishment places him among an elite group.

From his global leadership in the customer communications and printing industries to his impactful fireside chats and webinars, Roger has consistently set the standard for professionalism and inspiration. His book, "I'm Not Anyone: A Story of Reinvention and Acceptance," offers insight into the resilience, creativity, and drive that have shaped his career and his remarkable contributions to his field.

Roger has received many awards throughout his career, but his lifetime EDP designation is an important accomplishment for him.

“I wear my EDP lapel pin on my jacket every day,” he says. “People ask me about it all the time, giving me opportunities to talk about what it means to me and to the community I serve. As a lifetime member, I will continue to display it proudly as a symbol of my professional approach to business.”

Achieving Lifetime EDP is a rare honor, but for Gimbel, it’s only the latest chapter in a career filled with groundbreaking achievements. He embodies what it means to lead, innovate, and share knowledge with future generations.
