The Washington State Department of Printing (PRT) has had a tough year, with some members of the state senate pushing for its closure. A recent victory for the in-plant, however, is sure to make some of those pro-outsourcing senators squirm.
The Department of Printing has won the 2011 IPMA Management Award, which recognizes an outstanding in-house publishing department for its team effort in support services to the organization. This is the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association’s top honor and is an impressive vote of confidence for Director Jean-Luc Devis, who also presided over Oregon State University Printing & Mailing Services when it won the IPMA Management Award in 2006.
