Mal Baboyian, NPES chairman of the board and EVP, large-format solutions/production print solutions for Canon Solutions America, announced that Thayer Long will serve as the next president of NPES-The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies. He succeeds Ralph Nappi who has led NPES for the last 11 years and announced his retirement at the October 2015 board of directors meeting.
 
In addition to leading NPES and GASC, Long will also serve as president of the Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation (GAERF).
 
Long has nearly 20 years of association experience, serving most recently as EVP and CEO of the Independent Electrical Contractors, and prior to that as president and CEO of the Manufactured Housing Institute. Both organizations are headquartered in the Washington, D.C., metro area.
 
“Thayer is a good colleague whom I have known for five years; the industry is fortunate to have such a highly qualified professional joining our organization,” Nappi said.
 
Long will begin his roles on April 28. Nappi has agreed to continue in a transitionary capacity through the end of July.
