University of Delaware's Brown to Retire
After 34 years at the University of Delaware, Rodney Brown, manager of University Printing, is retiring on January 1. A fixture at IPMA and ACUP conferences, which he’s been attending since 1988, Brown has made friends with in-plant managers across the country.
“I could write a book on the good times and memories from belonging to ACUP and IPMA,” he says, praising “the outstanding people in this tight group that run the in-plants across this great nation that we live in.”
One highlight of his career, Brown says, was winning In-Print Best of Show awards in both 2004 and 2006.
“The best part … was taking a facility that, at one point, you thought would never win any awards and seeing it become one of the best in-plants in the nation, winning not one but two Best of Show awards and winning some 90 awards over the years.”
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication. Mr. Neubauer is very active in the U.S. in-plant industry. He attends all the major in-plant conferences and has visited more than 170 in-plant operations around the world. He has given presentations to numerous in-plant groups in the U.S., Canada and Australia, including the Association of College and University Printers and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. He also coordinates the annual In-Print contest, co-sponsored by IPMA and In-plant Impressions.
