In this candid conversation, Mike Loyd, executive director of the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association, reflects on his decades-long journey through the in-plant world — from managing Louisiana State University’s print operation (where he was named IPI's 1999 Manager of the Year) to leading IPMA and shaping its future. He shares behind-the-scenes insights from the Spokane conference, discusses the strength, challenges, and camaraderie of the in-plant community, and contemplates his upcoming retirement.
