ASGA AGM 2026
The Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) Annual General Meeting has concluded with the association saying it is “stronger, more stable, and providing more value to members than ever before”. Mick Harrold, ASGA President, also spoke of the plans for the coming year, building on the strong platform that has been built.
“Overall, it has been an excellent last five years for ASGA. The Association has never provided higher levels of service or stronger support for its members, and in the year ahead, we will continue to build on this momentum. A key focus for 2026 is promoting the learning resources available through our new partnership with ISA, building opportunities for the future by supporting training initiatives and connecting apprentices with industry businesses, and exploring new projects involving AI,” said Harrold.
At the meeting, the following achievements were acknowledged
• continued membership growth;
• the new partnership with the International Sign Association (ISA), offering reciprocal membership benefits and more than 60 training packages;
