With the announcement of Kirsten Taylor, Taylor’d Press, stepping down from the role earlier this year, Women in Print reached out to the broader industry from Print direct to suppliers, agencies, retailers.

“We know how many women make up the fabric of our Industry and have input and influence into our Industry. The applicant covered the entire suite of our Industry, and it was wonderful to see the breadth of the print media landscape represented,” commented Kellie Northwood, Executive Secretary, Women in Print. 

A passionate supporter of Women in Print, Karagiannis brings a strong background across multiple verticals in Industry, with over 21 years of experience in print communications.

“Women in Print is a great platform for women in our industry to support each other, and I am excited to join the Board and to be able to consider projects that enhance and increase networking and connections in the community, especially apply my passion as Patron of Victoria,” said Karagiannis.

Susan Heaney, Chair of Women in Print and Media Super and Managing Director of Heaney’s Performers in Print, welcomed the announcement. “We are delighted to welcome Rita to the Board as the Victorian Patron and look forward to working with her in 2022 as we continue to maintain the momentum for our community.”

The first Board meeting for 2022 will take place in February as the Women in Print Board prepares to host its Breakfast Series in May 2022.

“It was a very tough decision for the Board, as we narrowed a strong field of candidates to a final two, who provided strong applications to not only how they would approach the current projects, but furthermore their vision for the future diversity of our Industry and how to support all across our sector. Women in Print has a proud history that will continue, as we now build a strong future focus with our Patrons,” concluded Northwood.
