Endowment History – Regis Delmontagne Scholarship

Established in 2001

Regis Delmontagne served as Chief Executive of NPES (now APTech) for 25 years, having been named the Association’s first fulltime professional executive in December 1976. At the time he joined the Association, then known as the National Printing Equipment Association, membership was 37 companies; when he retired it was nearly 500.

He also served as President of the Graphic Arts Show Company and the Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation, in which NPES shared ownership with NAPL and PIA. He was also a Director of PGSF.

In recognizing his 25th anniversary and to honor his overall contribution and achievements with NPES, the Board of Directors created a Regis Delmontagne endowed scholarship fund with a contribution of $300,000 to PGSF. The gift will fund scholarships for the children of full-time APTech member company employees, enabling them to pursue studies in graphic communications and related fields.

Delmontagne graduated from Duquesne University in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After working in newspaper advertising and corporate marketing, he joined the trade association and exhibit management firm Hanson and Shea in 1963. He and his wife Elena, have two children and three grandchildren.
