At the meeting, Jennifer Shen, Chairwoman of ASGA, first of all welcomed the president and general secretary from each ASGA board member, and thanked everyone for their great support for ASGA Print Awards Competition and ASGA forum. Each member talked about the local current industrial situation, especially highlighted the sustainable development and ASGA website maintenance. Finally, everyone agreed to have two meetings next year, one online and the other offline. ASGA was launched due to distinctive characteristics and market needs in the Asian region. In 1994, the association was founded as Asia Pacific Screen Printing Association (APSPA) and four years later, in 1998 it was renamed as ASGA (Asia Screen Printing & Graphic Imaging Association). ASGA, right from its inception, has been a forum for screen printing operations, companies and associations to create closer ties and co-operation. Significant attention and efforts have gone into the formulation of rules, regulations, roles and responsibilities for ASGA as the premier screen printing association for the Asia Pacific region.
