Reprographics and Mail Services Recognized for Top Performance

Sac State’s Reprographics and Mail Services ranked number 50 out of 70 respondents for the leading industry magazine’s In-Plant Graphics, annual Sales Per Employee ranking. Some of the top ranking organizations include Navy Federal Credit Union, OGE Energy Corp, and Farmer’s Insurance. As you might guess, those companies have much larger footprints than Sac State’s team of 13.

The ranking places Reprographics and Mail Services ahead than 14 other higher education institutions in this year’s
ranking. While the ranking does not indicate in-plant’s performance, this is still a great distinction that confirms that
while the Reprographics team is small, it is still mighty. Interim Director, Laura Lockett, expressed her excitement of the ranking, "I toured number 30 on the list. It is a whopping 184,000 square feet with 100 employees. I’m really proud of my team of 13!" We agree Laura, congratulations on this accomplishment.

 

Financial Services: Top Finisher Earns Front Cover

At the completion of each fiscal year, the Chancellor’s Office complies the financial statements of each of the 23 CSU
campuses. ABA staff in Financial Services work diligently to prepare the scores of financial data and reports to submit in a timely fashion.

In the 2015-2016 fiscal year reporting, Sacramento State earned the coveted front cover, along with four other campuses. Being awarded third place signals that Sacramento State distinguished itself in the eyes of the Chancellor’s Office, with outstanding GAAP reporting packages and worksheets, timely submission and
minimal audit findings.

Stephen Scalley, GAAP Coordinator, accepted the award on behalf of the ABA Accounting team. Congratulation, Financial Services for a job well done!
