by supporting an education-related charity. For the second year in a row,
the AIIM International Exposition & Conference partnered with the Horace
Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, a Boston Public School.
Exhibitors donated software, printing equipment and supplies, providing the
school with state-of-the-art technology solutions for the school's
educational and career training programs. The New England Chapter of AIIM
has supported the Horace Mann School as a business advisor and partner,
providing both technological expertise and funds, for over 25 years.
