Latter-day Saints Print Director Retires Today

Craig Sedgwick

After 40 years at the Printing Division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Director Craig Sedgwick is retiring today.

“What mixed emotions this retirement brings,” he told IPG. “I have loved the printing industry, my colleagues at work and my many friends in IPMA. I will miss all of this, but it is time for me to move on.”

The new director will be Steven T. Lewis, who has been in the print industry for 10 years, and previously served as VP of operations for Consolidated Graphics/R.R. Donnelley before joining the LDS Printing Division as print planning manager two years ago.

For Sedgwick, his job was about much more than printing. He felt he was playing an important part in the mission of his church.

“Seeing the work go out the door and knowing it is being distributed to members of our church and others worldwide has been a great joy for me,” he says.

A frequent attendee of the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association conference, Sedgwick served on IPMA’s board for 13 years and was president for two.

“This service was one of the top highlights of my career,” he declares. “Thanks to all of you who have been so kind and so willing to help me over the years. I encourage all of you to get involved in helping each other — that is what IPMA is all about. Thanks for your friendship. I will miss you all.”
