Wide-format industry veteran Kevin Howes has been selected to replace Mark Beilman as executive director of the Reprographic Services Association. Beilman will retire at the end of 2016.
Howes will begin working at RSA on August 15, to facilitate the transition.
"I am very fortunate to be running side by side with Mark through the end of the year," Howes says. "He is a quality person."
Howes most recently was director of print solutions for RTI, which closed in June (read more about that here). He previously held sales management positions for a variety of reprographics-related companies, including Delphax Technologies, Xerox, and Regma. Earlier in his career he worked for Print-O-Stat, Rowley Scherr Reprographics, CAD ONE/Charrette and Océ-USA.
Look for an interview with Howes in the next issue of IRgA Today.
