Big changes were on the way when Danelle Sedore and Rachel Bower assumed new leaderships roles in the print shop at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan.

"As new leaders often do, we examined our department with fresh eyes and decided that many things needed updating in order for us to survive and be a useful resource for the college," explains Rachel.  One of the biggest changes was eliminating the offset equipment and moving toward an all digital shop. "It seemed like the perfect time to rearrange the overall design of the in-plant."

Lea Holt, CMM, Manager, University Mail Services, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has gained recertification as a Certified Mail Manager from the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association. 

Bruce Hunzeker, CGCM, Business Manager III for
the State of Nebraska Department of Correctional Services Penitentiary in Lincoln, has gained lifetime certification from the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association. Bruce, who initially became certified as a Graphic Communications Manager in 1987, has maintained this credential of distinction for 25 years.

If you are interested in gaining professional certification as a Certified Graphic Communications Manager (CGCM) or Certified Mail Manager (CMM), visit IPMA's Certification Page. The exam, which is now administered on-line at testing facilities across the country, has recently been updated.  New study resources are also available making it more convenient than ever to prepare and sit for the exam.
