•Hosts the recognition of industry and individual best practices via Excel Awards and publications review program; and,

•Provides career advancement via an online career center, networking opportunities and lifelong learning experiences.

Association Media & Publishing was known as the Society of National Association Publications (SNAP). Kathleen Rakestraw, outgoing president of SNAP, announced on June 4 that over the next year, the association will change its name to Association Media and Publishing. The name change was approved by the board of directors in May 2009, after a nearly two-year process of evaluation, survey and discussion. Association Media and Publishing believes the new name will:

•Focus on emerging markets, both geographically and discipline-based;

•Focus on professionals who connect with association members both in and outside of print publications; and,

•Retain and honor our essential connection to publishing, which we view as both an art and a trade.

Mission Statement: To enhance the effectiveness of print and electronic publications professionals to meet their association’s communication and business goals.
