This is the ninth year we’ve had the privilege of honoring the document imaging industry’s young influencers. When I first conceived of this feature, I had no idea of the reception it would receive and that it would continue to be the centerpiece of our June issue for as long as it has. I realize this industry has challenges recruiting and maintaining young people. Despite those challenges, a steady stream of talented young people still finds their way into the industry and set examples for other young people. Because of that, we consider it a privilege to share their journeys with you. In our cover story, Passion and Purpose, written by Story Editor Sharon Tosto Esker and Contributing Writer Kate Gragg, you’ll read about five young influencers, each working in different roles within their organizations, who are proof positive that young talent can indeed thrive in this industry. I’m excited for you to read their stories.
In addition to the Young Influencers feature, we have a strong editorial lineup this month, including:
A4 Sales Strategies – Editor-in-Chief Scott Cullen highlights strategies dealers can employ to sell more A4.
Fiery Flippancy – Contributing Editor Cary Sherburne examines the challenges some dealers have in communicating the benefits of a Fiery DFE to their customers.
Vertical Market Watch: Healthy Choices – Contributing Editor Noel Ward focuses on opportunities in the healthcare market.
Employee Appreciation – Kate Gragg looks at what it takes to build a positive company culture.
CR-Connect Dealer Tour: Marco Moves Forward with New Regime and Vision – Contributing writer Mark Vruno travels to Minnesota for a press event at Marco’s new Minnetonka facility and its strategic initiatives to become a $1 billion dealership by 2027
Besides these features, you’ll find our latest Japanese Headlines, European Headlines, and Economics Matters columns, as well as the debut of a new column, Diversification Row, sponsored by GreatAmerica Financial Services, that highlights diversification opportunities. And don’t miss this month’s Veterans Way column where Frank G. Cannata interviews CIT’s Mike Jones about his military career and his commitment to fellow veterans. I think you’ll also enjoy photos from our Client-Partner Dinner as we continue to celebrate our 40th anniversary.
