Thanks to all who sent such nice notes on our SIPAward. Following are just a few:
Congratulations to Columbia Books and the Association TRENDS team on receiving first place for most improved publication from the Specialized Information Publishers Association.
Association TRENDS has long been a trusted source of knowledge and information for the association community. TRENDS has always advocated that association executives must not fear change, but embrace it to serve the evolving and emerging needs of members in a changing world. It is good to see that Columbia Books followed that sage advice with Association TRENDS. Building on a legacy of success, you have worked to position TRENDS to meet the ever-changing needs of your audience.
Thank you for making TRENDS as vital, responsive and forward-looking in the future as it has been over the many years of its existence. Well done.
