Three In-plants to be Honored With IPMA Awards
On Tuesday, June 6, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) will honor three world-class in-plants, the winners of its 2023 IPMA Awards. The awards ceremony will take place during the IPMA 2023 conference in Bonita Springs, Florida.
Different than the In-Print Awards, which recognize superior print quality, the IPMA Awards program honors IPMA member organizations that are excelling and prospering.
“The IPMA Awards annually show the best of what in-plants do to support their parent companies,” says IPMA Executive Director Mike Loyd. “This year is no exception. The creativity, planning and execution of their plans are very impressive and offer us a blueprint for our own operations. Congratulations to all. Well done.”
The 2023 winners are:
Tammy Slone of Cedarville University
In-Plant of the Year
Cedarville University
Recognizes an entire in-plant business for outstanding performance. Whether the in-plant is a combination of print and mail, print only or mail only, all members are eligible.
