An Opportunity for the New Public Printer—Increase GPO Work for Private Sector Printers
William Boarman, this country's 26th Public Printer, continues the legacy begun by Benjamin Franklin. And like Franklin, he is a practical printer by trade. Here is an excerpt from Boarman's bio: "For four decades, Bill Boarman has been a key participant in the partnership between labor and management in the American printing and publishing industry, where he gained extensive experience in fund management and turning organizations with deficit problems into profitable operations. Bill has been a trusted advisor to several Public Printers spanning the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter through George W. Bush, and as the result of bipartisan relationships with Members of Congress over the years he has been a spokesperson for the role GPO plays in our democracy. Employed by GPO as a printer more than 35 years ago, Bill returned to the U.S. Government Printing Office on Jan. 3, 2011, as the 26th Public Printer of the United States after being appointed to the position by President Barack Obama."
