Former FINAT Marketing Committee and Board Member Noel Mitchell interviewed in Labels & Labeling, September 2017 "In my view, trade associations such as FINAT are very valuable, as they provide a common voice for the industry in such matters as legislation, regulations and standards. They are also very useful as a source of education and training in the industry. Above all they are a great opportunity to network with colleagues in the industry, to share ideas, to learn from each other and to experience a comradeship and friendship that such an association can provide." |
