Angerosa Foundation honors association publishing professionals
Angerosa Research Foundation, Alexandria, Va., announced the winners of the 2012 Publishing Trendsetter of the Year and Rising Star Scholarships.
Annaliese Hoehling, publications director for NTEN: Nonprofit Technology Network, Portland, Ore., is the 2012 Publishing Trendsetter and Amy Lestition, MA, CAE, executive director of Association Media & Publishing, McLean, Va., is the Award of Merit honoree.
Hoehling was selected for her digital publishing innovations at NTEN.

Lestition was selected for her leadership in rebranding, renaming and relaunching the former Society of National Association Publications into AM&P to better reflect publishing in a digital age. This includes renaming all AM&P publications, products and services, as well as introducing several new products, including a new website, mobile app, blog, and mobile website.
The Rising Star Scholarship recipients are Ashley Henson, public relations and communications manager, Competency & Credentialing Institute, Denver; Nhat-Thanh (Natalie) Ngo, senior editorial coordinator, American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Alexandria, Va.; Kim Schneider, communications editor, American Student Dental Association, Chicago; and Amy Tetreault, marketing and public relations coordinator, Tree Care Industry Association, Londonderry, N.H.
The $1,000 scholarships will be used to fund attendance at educational programs that focus on publishing, media, and association communications, including the 2012 FOLIO: Show, Society of Professional Journalists’ Excellence in Journalism: 2012, and ASAE's 2012 annual meeting.
