The Ben Franklin Honor Society Logo

Established in 2005

The purpose of the Ben Franklin Society is to recognize and honor industry leaders who have made lasting contributions to the printing and graphic communications industry. This includes but is not limited to PIA, its affiliates, and PGSF. The Ben Franklin Society of Printing Industries of America was founded in 2005, in San Francisco, California, by the consolidation of two established honor societies—The Ash Khan Society of PIA and The Society of Fellows of GATF, established in 1950 and 1969 respectively.
