Xplor Announces Establishment of the Herman L. Gimbel and Audrey M. Gimbel Memorial Scholarship Fund

Gimbel & Associates Establishes Scholarship Fund to Honor Their Parents

Lutz, FL — January 25, 2022: Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today announced that Platinum Association Sponsor and Diamond Conference Sponsor, Gimbel & Associates, has established a scholarship fund honoring Hy and Audrey Gimbel.

The Herman L. Gimbel and Audrey M. Gimbel Memorial Scholarship Fund, part of the Xplor Member Scholarship program, will provide financial assistance to Xplor members and their immediate families who are pursuing careers in the electronic document and communications industry.

Hy and Audrey are the parents of Roger and Gail Gimbel of Gimbel & Associates. They were pioneers in the printing industry, opening their first printing business in 1942.  Recognizing early on the need for on-demand copies of business documents in the 60’s, they were one of the first to develop the concept of quick copy centers.

When Hy passed away in 1978, Hy’s wife Audrey and her son Roger took over management of the Xerographic Reproduction Center (XRC) where Roger and Gail Gimbel continue the family tradition and continue to work together in the company now known worldwide as Gimbel & Associates (GA).

“Our parents started with almost nothing and through hard work and innovation grew their company into one with a reputation for fast service and quality work,” says company president and author Roger Gimbel. “I’m proud to honor their contributions through this Xplor scholarship.”

The Xplor Scholarship Fund was established in 2010 to help promote and support the next generation of professionals in the electronic document and communications industry.

To learn more about the history of the “Gimbels in Print” check out their e-book: http://tinyurl.com/2p8xsykd

“The Gimbels have a long and storied history in the printing industry,” says Skip Henk, President and CEO of Xplor. “Their 80-year history includes many industry firsts and innovations. For me, the Gimbels in Print e-book was fascinating.”

Xplor Announces 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award

Lutz, FL — November 23, 2021: Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today named the recipient of the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was presented at Xplor’s Annual Conference, XPLOR21, on Tuesday, November 16th during the awards ceremony in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was established in 2007 and is given to an individual, or individuals, whose efforts and contributions have significantly changed the course and development of the digital document industry. This award is open to Xplor International members as well as non-members.

This year’s winner is Amy Saraco, Senior Director of the Payment Product and Preference Solutions team at Aetna/CVS Health.

Amy is the business owner of Aetna’s Product and Payment Application, also known as “Aeppays” which produces the Healthcare Business’ provider and member claim payments, explanations of benefits (EOBs), electronic remittance advice (ERA) and electronic funds transfer (EFT).

Amy’s 26-year career took her on a journey that spanned many departments and projects within the company.

Recently, Amy developed an alternative and cutting-edge digital experience for members reviewing their EOBs. In 2021, “Your Claims Explained” was launched, giving members a simpler and more interactive way to view information that is on their EOB statement.

She was awarded Aetna Way Platinum Award, Aetna’s most prestigious award in 2014 for the role she played in the Medicare Part C statement as well as the Aetna Business Excellence LEAN award for a 2018 commercial EOB bulking, packaging and delivery project that reduced the number of mailings a member could receive and saved millions of dollars in annual postage.

Outside of work Ms. Saraco has passion for making a difference. Amy has volunteered for local food banks, collected back to school items for children who do not have supplies, and volunteers for Make-A-Wish.

She also serves on both the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and Children’s Heart Foundation Walk planning committees for her local chapters, responsible for publicizing and promoting the walks, both causes she is very passionate about.

She recently partnered with a young professional on her team to develop an internal employee program focused on support for caregivers of adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia. After involving the Alzheimer’s Association and many months of planning, the event was a major success.

“Amy’s accomplishments both professionally and personally are amazing,” says Skip Henk, EDP, President and CEO of Xplor International. “Our industry as a whole and the world around us are better places due to her efforts.”

XPLOR21 Conference Update – We Are Moving Forward

The cancelation of PRINTING United Expo, which had been scheduled for October in Orlando, has caused some questions about the XPLOR21 event, scheduled for November 16-18 in St. Pete Beach, Florida. At this point, Xplor International is electing to move forward with XPLOR21 for a variety of reasons:

  • XPLOR21 and Printing United are two very different industry events.
    • XPLOR21 will have a limited number of attendees between 275-325 whereas Printing United would have thousands.
    • XPLOR21 booths are pretty much “all inclusive” with most vendors just bringing popups, brochures and a couple support staff. Conversely, at a large show like Printing United, vendors have to ship equipment well in advance in addition to sending large support staffs.
    • Unlike larger shows, XPLOR21 is “self-contained.” All activities, including sessions, exhibits and networking events are held at a single site, the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort, with most attendees staying at the property.
    • Smaller events such as the Inkjet Summit and ING did well.
  • Enthusiasm remains high.
    • Full agenda – Between Aug 12th and Aug 15th (once again during the peak of things) we received (28) speaker submissions. Our agenda is now populated.
    • Growing Exhibits – Vendors continue to sign up to exhibit. We have filled 17 of 24 booth with ongoing discussions with many others. We expect to sell out.
    • Attendees continue to sign up for the event – Historically we are tracking with past years at 10 weeks out.

The safety of our attendees is a priority and we will follow all CDC guidelines, provide masks and access to sanitizing stations in addition to all of the other safeguards taken by the TradeWinds.

With vaccination rates increasing and new cases in decline, we remain optimistic that the Delta variant is on the decline and hope to see you in St. Pete Beach.

We will be monitoring things over the next couple of weeks and will keep you updated should things change.

For an event preview, check out our short conference video or visit the XPLOR21 Conference site for more information.
