Working His Way Up

"Back then, I ultimately wanted to get to where I am now," says Steenhoek. "I am glad I stayed with the smaller plants first. I learned a lot there, and it helped to prepare me for a lot more."

Steenhoek remained with the IGHSAU for five years, learning about postal automation, bar coding, multi-color printing and laser printing. In the process, he earned his Certified Graphics Communication Manager (CGCM) and Certified Mail Manager (CMM) designations from the International Publishing Management Association.
