A More Intimate ACUP
Despite the smaller turnout (about 45), ACUP still drew three international attendees (from Australia, New Zealand and Scotland), as well as managers from all over the U.S., from Oregon to New Hampshire, with a large contingent from Texas.
Host and ACUP President Richard Griffin, director of Campus Printing at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), put together an excellent program. It started with a pool-side reception on Sunday evening, which also drew several retired and current managers from the area who were not able to attend the full event. The networking continued on a dinner boat cruise the following night. Trips to the Cadmus Whitehall Group's Printing Facility and the Charlotte Motor Speedway offered attendees an even broader view of the Charlotte area.
