What Is The NALC?
The National Association of Litho Clubs is an organization which provides a forum for the sharing of information among, and the education of, its members and affiliates. The NALC provides support, advice, and training for the officers of each local club.
What Is A Litho Club?
A Litho Club is an organized group of ambitious and progressive members of the graphic arts industry who seek to improve themselves in the mastery of their art, advancing the individual progress of its membership and the progress of the industry in general. Its membership is made up of management, technical production and mechanical personnel who are associated with some branch of the graphic arts.
It receives its charter from the National Association of Litho Clubs Inc. It thus becomes a member of, and participates in the activities and management of the national organization. The local clubs manage their own affairs and arrange their own programs.The local clubs are supported principally by dues paid by the membership, the amount of which is determined by the club in accordance with its needs. The local clubs also support the National Association through a nominal, per capita tax which is practically the sole income of the National Association.
The Aims And Objectives Of A Litho Club:
To build personality, develop leadership and to provide the opportunity for its membership to increase their knowledge and improve their skill in the practice of the trade.
To promote meetings at which the membership is given the opportunity of learning about the latest developments and research in the industry and to provide the opportunity for an honest interchange of information relative to the offset industry.

The Litho Clubs constitute a forum for the discussion of any and all topics in which members of the lithographic trade and industry are interested. At these meetings every member is at liberty to express his or her opinions and contribute their knowledge in any discussion that is pertinent to the advancement of the graphic arts.
