Frustrating Senators, Washington Department of Printing Wins Management Award

Yesterday was a day of extremes for employees of the Washington State Department of Printing. Even as the state senate was holding a hearing to discuss, in part, closing their operation, the in-plant's staff learned they had won a major national award for outstanding service and efficiency.

The In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association announced yesterday that the Department of Printing (PRT) had been selected to receive the 2011 IPMA Management Award, which recognizes an outstanding in-house publishing department for its team effort in support services to the organization.
