Devis Chosen as Wash. State Printer

The state of Washington has selected a new state printer: Jean-Luc Devis, director of Printing & Mailing Services at Oregon State University and a member of IPG’s editorial advisory board. He replaces Larry Weber who recently retired from the position.

A well-known face at ACUP and IPMA conferences, where he has led several presentations over the years on customer service issues, Devis has been at OSU since the fall of 2002. While there he successfully turned a five-year deficit trend into a profit mode, increased sales by more than $1 million and introduced a multi-function copier program to the campus, with 400+ installations. Under his direction, OSU’s in-plant won the IPMA In-house Promotional Excellence Award in 2004 and the IPMA Management Award in 2006.

Prior to OSU, Devis worked at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for 15 years.

Devis is slated to begin work at the Washington State Department of Printing on September 25.
