2012 NYPA Spring Convention
and Trade Show

NYPA’s 2012 Spring Convention and Trade Show arrived with cool sun shining on our two-day array of excellent speakers’ engaging sessions. We were fortunate enough to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex Jones, now lecturing at Harvard, as Friday’s luncheon speaker. And that night, the National Museum of Dance was transformed into a wonderland of amazing food and fun fellowship. If you were among the hundreds of attendees, thank you; we hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as we did. We trust that you returned home equipped with new ideas, armed with vitalizing strategies, and energized to excel!

We appreciate the participation of our trade show exhibitors, who provided us with a myriad of affordable business solutions and strategies. Many offer webinars to explain their products and services, and all have informative websites. Watch for special vendor promotions in coming issues of NewsBeat.

Finally, congratulations to our Better Newspaper Contest award winners, all of whom submitted remarkable writing, photography, advertising pages, and more. To everyone who entered, we appreciate your hard work and diligence! Together you’ve proven once again that our community newspapers are filled with talented staff producing relevant, vital, thriving journalism.

Save the date! Next year, our annual Spring Convention and Trade Show will be held at the Gideon Putnam on April 5th and 6th, 2013.
