Alexandria, VA_July 1, 2026_Members of the newly announced class of ISA Elite range from those who just joined the sign and graphics industry to those who have created game-changing companies. All have one thing in common, however: leadership potential that can impact their companies, communities, and the broader sign and graphics industry.
ISA Elite recognizes young leaders in the sign and graphics industry. ISA received more than 90 applications, and selected 35 participants to be part of the 2026-2027 class. Participants receive career-boosting networking opportunities and targeted leadership training over the course of a year. They also receive access to the vibrant community of Elite Alumni. This year’s class will meet in person for the first time in October at ISA headquarters and will reconvene at ISA International Sign Expo 2027 in Las Vegas in March.
“ISA Elite continues to find talented young sign, graphics, print and wrap leaders, and this year’s class is no different,” said Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “When we launched this program more than a decade ago, we hoped that investing in future leaders would pay off for the industry and for ISA, and we’ve seen it happen. Many ISA Elite alumni now serve on ISA and affiliate boards and are driving innovations in their companies. We look forward to seeing the impact this year’s class will make.”
Building on the success of the program, ISA is opening sponsorship opportunities for the first time. This will allow for continued growth of the program and for ISA Elite members to make valuable connections with suppliers, distributors and manufacturers in the industry. Those interested in learning more about sponsorship can contact Kyle Craig, kyle.craig@signs.org.
