The Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) has appointed Amanda L. Kliegl as vice-president of public relations.

In her role, Kliegl will work to further awareness about the resources and offerings SGIA provides to members and the industry as a whole. She will focus on communication efforts surrounding Printing United, the new trade show built upon the robust foundation of the SGIA Expo.
