The highest Management Plus honor, the William K. Marrinan Hall of Fame Award, is bestowed on Bloomington Offset Process, Inc., a full-service printing, mailing, and fulfillment company based in Bloomington, Ill. (See NAPL January 11, 2007, press release, “2006 NAPL Management Plus Hall of Fame Award Goes to Bloomington Offset Process, Inc.”)

Truncale, NAPL president and chief executive officer. “I and everyone at NAPL extend our sincere congratulations to all the 2006 Management Plus honorees.”
The awards will be presented at a special banquet on Saturday, March 10, during NAPL’s 2007 Top Management Conference in Santa Barbara, Calif.
