REMINDER: Member Survey on Postal Rate Increases
We also want to remind SIPA members to fill out a very important member survey on the proposed postal rate increase which was email to you last week. SIIA will use the survey in several ways to argue against possible rate hikes and your participation in the survey will allow us to fully understand the impact of the proposed rates increase on our members and will enhance our lobbying efforts on your behalf.
Here is the link to the member survey. If you can fill it out now, we would be greatly appreciative. We need to get your response as soon as possible, but no later than close of business on June 28.
SIIA INFO Local Gatherings
There are INFO Local get-togethers planned for Washington (a Publishers dinner, July 10 - and a BrainTrust dinner, July 16), Boston, July 11, and Los Angeles, Aug. 8, and others in the works for Chicago, the Bay Area, Boulder, Atlanta and New York. These are great ways to network with your fellow SIPA and SIIA members. See all the SIIA events here.
SIPAward Winners Named
SIPA named 21 first-place winners and 59 winners overall in its annual SIPAwards competition for excellence in editorial-writing and marketing at an evening reception in downtown Washington, D.C. on Thursday, June 6. The subjects of the winning editorial pieces ranged from funeral direction to psychiatry to nuclear weapons—the latter is the Investigative Reporting Award named for the late, respected industry leader David Swit. The other award named for a person is the Margie Weiner Award for Best Marketing Team of the Year, named for another industry leader and dynamic, creative marketer.
Winning a 2013 SIPAward is an especially impressive achievement given that there were 203 entries, and more than 20 judges—all esteemed industry veterans—took part. Check out the full list of 2013 SIPAwards winners.
