Statement from SFI Board Chairman Joe Rickman
“Through research and education, SFI is working to protect the fundamental right to display signage that is readable and conspicuous in the commercial environment. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing solid, peer-reviewed research and a knowledge base that enable SFI and the signage industry to engage in meaningful discussions within all constituencies about mutual areas of concern. And our recent collaboration with the University of Cincinnati has advanced these efforts. On behalf of SFI, I invite all interested parties to join us in this endeavor.”
