Anthony Seaman Chosen as President-elect of Trade Organization

OXFORD, Miss. – Anthony Seaman, director of brand creative services at the University of Mississippi, has been named the 2010 president-elect for the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association, a professional organization for in-house corporate publishing, printing and distribution operations.

Seaman begins his three-year term on the IPMA board at the group’s annual conference this week (June 5-9) in Albuquerque, N.M. He is to become president next summer.

“I am looking forward to Tony joining the board,” said John Sarantakso, IPMA president. “I have known Tony for a long time, and he will be an awesome addition to the leadership team.”

Seaman, who joined the UM staff in 1996, is a certified graphic communications manager. Before coming to Ole Miss, he worked as a production control manager for J.W. Moore Inc., in Memphis.

“It is a great privilege to be able to represent the university in an in-plant organization that has a lot of influence in the industry,” Seaman said. “This will help us get the university’s name in publications that go to IPMA members around the world, and it also ensures that the university’s interests are represented among those of all the member universities.”

IPMA is dedicated exclusively to the specific needs of in-house professionals who provide graphic design, copy, print, mail and distribution services to their organizations. IPMA also welcomes associate members who supply products and services to the in-plant community.
