The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA), based out of Topeka, Kansas, is proud to announce the formation of the NextGen Leaders Society, a new initiative designed to attract, engage and empower young professionals within the print and specialty effects industry.
Created in response to the growing need for fresh perspectives and long-term talent development, the NextGen Leaders Society will serve as a dedicated community for emerging leaders looking to build careers in print, foil, coatings, embossing, diecutting and other specialty embellishment technologies. The group will provide opportunities for networking, education, mentorship and leadership development while fostering deeper engagement with FSEA and the industry as a whole.

The Society will focus on:
Connecting young professionals with peers and industry veterans
Providing educational resources and professional development opportunities
Encouraging participation in FSEA events, committees and initiatives
Promoting awareness of career paths within the print and embellishment industry
Programming for the NextGen Leaders Society will include virtual networking events, educational sessions and leadership-focused initiatives aligned with FSEA conferences and activities.
