Steve Johnson, president of Copresco, will lead a
team of four young business and professional men and women on a Rotary
Group Study Exchange in Japan next month.
The group will spend four weeks in Japan studying the country’s
institutions and ways of life, observing their own vocations as
practiced abroad and developing personal and professional
relationships.
An executive with over 28 years of experience in the graphic arts
field, Johnson has extensive skills in
business management, marketing and sales—and is an award-winning
writer. He co-founded Copresco, a pioneer in digital printing
technology and printing on-demand, in 1987.
He is a founding member of the Digital Printing Council of the
Printing Industries of America and serves as a director of the Printing Industry of Illinois/Indiana
Association. He has been active as an author, consultant and
speaker on a variety of business and technological topics for the
graphic arts and technical communications industries and writes a
monthly column for American Printer magazine. He has won numerous awards for publications excellence,
marketing communications, newsletter editing and website creation and
development.
Johnson serves on the College of
DuPage graphic arts technology advisory committee. The group serves
as a liaison between the college and the business community on
curriculum development, employment opportunities and technological
advancements in the graphic arts industry.
A member of the Wheaton Rotary club since 1991, Johnson has served
on the board of directors and has been active in international service,
vocational, youth exchange and
youth leadership training programs, and literacy projects. He was
honored as the club’s Rotarian of the Year in 1999. He is Sustaining
Paul Harris Fellow. The designation reflects a continuing financial
commitment to the Rotary Foundation, a trust that funds educational,
health care and humanitarian projects throughout the world.
Johnson served as the Wheaton club’s youth exchange officer for
seven years and has hosted two Japanese high school exchange students
for one-year periods. He has traveled extensively in Tokyo, Hiroshima,
Kyoto and other major Japanese cities. In 1994, he officiated at the
wedding of a former youth exchange student in Yamanashi.
“I have always been enthusiastic about Japanese culture, customs and
history. This Group Study Exchange program is an exceptional
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share a unique cultural and
vocational experience with these young men and women and help them
develop the skills necessary to meet the needs of their communities in
an increasingly global workplace.”
Group Study Exchange is an international
professional development program of the Rotary Foundation.
