• Accomplishments: When I was hired, I started on an A.B. Dick 360 (we had three of them). We ran very little color. I have been vocal about integrating more color systems into our department. We now have a Toshiba 6530 digital color machine. Also, I am very pleased our department has increased impressions by 2.5 million over two years ago. In my two years as department manager, we have increased the amount of money we give back to the school system by approximately 45 percent. This past summer, I negotiated a new contract with Ikon for two Ricoh 1357 black-and-white copiers, with a yearly savings of approximately $6,000. I take pride in knowing we are saving the taxpayers of Gaston County a substantial amount of money. Also, we are doing our part to support Gaston County Schools’ “green” initiatives by starting a recycling program.
