This year’s Editors’ Weekend is October 24-26. The
weekend will offer a full program of workshops covering different skills and
technical tips for producing ever better newsletters (with less pain for writers
and editors). It’s a fun weekend leading off with a keynote speaker, and
featuring the annual Awards Banquet. If you are doing communications, this one
is for you.
The application is now available. Courses are
filled on a first come, first serve basis. Deadline for
applications is September 26, 2008.
The official 2008 Newsletter Awards entry form is
now available. In order to qualify for a newsletter award, locals must have
produced at least two editions of their newsletter between August 1, 2007 and
August 31, 2008. The 2008 awards cover newsletters produced between those two
dates.
