Editor's Note The In-plant Family

The highlight of the conference for me came after I'd helped hand out the In-Print awards. Before I could leave the stage, Carol Kraft, IPMA's new COO, summoned IPG Publisher Gary Rubin to join me and thanked us both for our efforts to strengthen the in-plant industry. As I peered out into the crowd through the glare of the spotlights, I saw every in-plant manager in the room standing and cheering. It was a very touching gesture.
