Blackboard’s Card Sales & Services Vice President Retiring

In addition to offering the industry’s first suite of enterprise software products and services that power a total “e-Education Infrastructure” Blackboard also provides superior identification cards and accessories for schools, colleges, universities and other education providers.  One of our major contributors to Blackboard Card Sales and Services is Terry Hann.

After 50 years in this industry, Terry Hann, Vice President of Card Sales & Services is retiring from Blackboard.  Terry began his career in the plastic card industry at Harco Industries, at that time located in New York.  In 1961, Harco Industries moved to Phoenix and Terry moved as well.  While at Harco, one of Terry’s many accomplishments was creating an innovative strap clip assembly, which gave Harco a name in the industry.  In the mid to late 70’s, Card Sales & Services kept the company afloat while Harco initiated its entry to the one-card market at college and university campuses.  In November 1994, AT&T purchased Harco, and Terry become Vice President of Card Sales & Services of AT&T CampusWide Access Solutions. During his many years at AT&T, and now Blackboard, Terry contributed his wealth of knowledge and expertise in the plastic card business on a daily basis. Terry has now decided to enjoy his retirement by playing golf on a daily basis. 

Blackboard is pleased to announce that Terry will be passing the baton to Lois Gamiel, who has 12-plus years of plastic card experience and expertise. Lois has been Terry’s ‘right-arm’ team member for the past six years.  Blackboard’s Card Sales & Services not only distributes quality I.D. cards, but also provides special event cards to many colleges and universities. This includes, but is not limited to conference, visitor, courtesy, dining, summer camp, guest and gift cards. We also furnish encoding, sequential numbering and variable printing, bar code printing, along with slot and hole punching services. In addition, we offer the knowledge and expertise that is necessary to produce your specific identification or special event card.

Thanks again to Terry for his extraordinary contributions to this industry. Please contact Lois at (800) 528-0465 x1143 or by email at lgamiel@blackboard.com for card samples and ordering information.
