Kathy's legacy lives on

摘要

The death of the BPIF chief executive left the industry bereft of one of its most persuasive and positive voices and much saddened by the loss. Last month the print industry lost its most ardent advocate, BPIF chief executive Kathy Woodward. While her tenure at the BPIF was only a little over three years, it's safe to say that her warmth, energy and enthusiasm ensured that among the many things she achieved while in office, the most obvious was "putting the fun back into the Fed". To achieve that she wanted the BPIF to be about more that just its members, so while publically her focus as chief executive was on supporting the membership, it was clear that in reality she believed her duty was to the entire industry. "She transformed the BPIF, built a great team around her to help professionalise the Federation and she did a great deal of lobbying, not just for the BPIF but for the greater good of the whole industry," says Tony Garnish, chief executive of ASG Europe and BPIF president.
