Cindy Goure is Retiring...
This news comes with mixed feelings as we announce the retirement of one of our employees. Cindy Goure has been our Pueblo/Southern Regional Manager for the last five years and has been with the State of Colorado for 33 years. She has decided that the time has come to retire and June 30, 2016 will be her last day.
"I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work for the State of Colorado and particularly the Department of Personnel & Administration and the Division of Central Services. I have been given so many opportunities to develop both professionally and personally. It has been challenging and rewarding these past 33 years," said Goure.
Prior to coming to the State, Cindy worked for the Colorado and Wyoming Railroad for 10 years. Cindy began in 1983 as a Data Entry Operator, moving up to the Data Entry Supervisor from 1988-1997, then into IT and general professional positions through 2010, where she then took on her current role as the Southern Regional Manager for the IDS Pueblo facility.
Scanning of the State of Colorado Constitution in 2013
Cindy has worked on various high profile projects that have helped IDS grow over the years such as the scanning of the entire State Constitution in 2013, which was a collaborated effort with State Archives and the Colorado Supreme Court Library. Another was the new partnership with the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the successful rollout of a new system and the scanning of business tax in 2014 as well as the 2014 DOR/DPA Tax Pipeline LEAN project, and the new partnership with the Secretary of State's Office and scanning of candidate petitions.
Although Cindy will truly miss the day-to-day challenges, she will miss the people the most. "I have formed lasting and forever friendships with both my Pueblo and Denver families. I want to thank each and every one of you for making my career here so incredible and fun," said Goure. She is looking forward to her retirement and seeing what the next chapter brings. "I wish you all the best in the future and continue doing what we do best for the State of Colorado and its citizens."
Cindy has led her team through many challenges and has trained them to tackle anything that comes their way. With seeing their sense of drive and determination over the years under her leadership, they will have no problem continuing on the same path with finding better ways to serve our customers.
"Working with Cindy has been an honor. Her leadership, her vision, and her insight into customers' needs have not only allowed IDS to grow but she has positioned the business to be able to support customers long into the future," said Bill Taylor, Deputy Division Director of the Division of Central Services. "Because of this, Cindy's legacy will carry on and IDS will continue to thrive, meeting and exceeding customers' expectations long into the future."

IDS - 2016 Mail Center of the Year
The State of Colorado's Integrated Document Solutions (IDS) continues to strive to find more efficient processes by taking advantage of 21st century technology in order to provide government agencies with higher-quality and cost-effective document solutions. 

Denver Mail Team 
The example that IDS used for IPMA's (In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association) 2016 Mail Center of the Year Award not only shows how this mail team help ed one of the state agencies mailing become more efficient, they also helped improve that specific agencies service to their own customers. By bringing in partnerships, learning from each other, and using each other's knowledge has allowed IDS to change how a program's mail is processed, show increased efficiency, and provide a higher ROI back to the state, overall.    
Pueblo Mail/Scan & Data Team

As the United States Postal Service (USPS) introduces more complex changes to the rules, IDS has witnessed a significant gap in the "disconnect" wi t h each agency and how best to process their mail. These customers have become increasingly reliant on internal mail operations for direction and IDS has been there to assist in every way they can.

Both teams from the Denver and Pueblo facilities came together with all their hard work and dedication to make this opportunity happen.

IDS will be recognized for this prestigious award in the presence of other state's industry leaders at the 2016 IPMA's "Reaching New Heights" Conference Award Ceremony on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at the Omni Hotels and Resorts in Broomfield, Colorado.
