History of Association Media & Publishing
Association Media & Publishing was founded in 1963 and is formerly known as the Society of National Association Publications (SNAP). Kathleen Rakestraw, outgoing president of SNAP, announced on June 4, 2009, that over the next year, the association will change its name to Association Media & 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 & 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
-
Retain and honor our essential connection to publishing, which we view as both an art and a trade |
