Innovation And Success

"Winning this award has brought prestige to me personally and to the organization," stresses Loyd, director of graphic services. "Vendors now introduce me to other vendors as Manager of the Year."

In the few years that Loyd has been at the helm of the Baton Rouge-based operation, it has gone from a total of 4,000 square feet to a 45,000-square-foot printing plant and a 20,000-square-foot mailing facility and copy center, known as Pawprints. The in-plant is home for 92 employees and has a budget of $7.6 million. Loyd has brought new services, equipment and a new attitude to the LSU shop.
