How Greensboro's In-Plant Does More with Less
Greensboro Management Team
Lisa Pitts and Carol Snipes 

Like many managers, Lisa Pitts is  amazed at how much her small print and mail team accomplishes each day. "It feels, at least from my perspective, that we sometimes live on the edge of near misses. But we rarely miss a deadline!" What fuels that success is a tremendous sense of teamwork that

was put to the test when the in-plant for the City of Greensboro, NC, lost its bindery technician to cutbacks. "Finishing is a huge part of any print operation," explains Pitts."You can put ink on paper all day long, but if finishing isn't accurate and timely, you fail."
