The International Association of Assembly Managers Partners with Lulu.com
RALEIGH, NC –May 25, 2007 – Lulu.com (www.lulu.com) the premiere online marketplace for digital content on demand becomes home for the International Association of Assembly Managers, Inc. (IAAM). The IAAM (www.iaam.org), whose members are public facility managers, has partnered with Lulu.com to start a three-fold incentive; to meet membership needs, facilitate global expansion, and to encourage other managers to become published authors.
This partnership was a part of the yearly initiative selected by the current president, Larry Perkins. “With this partnership, we [IAAM] are providing our members with an opportunity to add value to their membership, through a cost-saving initiative –in real time”, says Perkins. He is leading by example, as he is already published on Lulu.com, with several titles. Perkins is not alone in his efforts to show members of the IAAM that it is not only important to their field to publish. The Executive Director of IAAM, Dexter King, is also published through Lulu.com.
“The future of American economy is that the bulk of the value is in the design, the knowledge that is behind the product. The IAAM is now an exporter of knowledge by providing a solution on a global scale and thus they are the perfect customer,” says Bob Young, CEO and founder of Lulu.com. By using Lulu.com as a printing partner, the IAAM is able to make all of their future endeavors available to the public at large and in turn help their community. The IAAM’s use of Lulu is a great example of how Lulu caters to every group, by offering services that are adaptable to not only community organizations but to individuals as well.
