“Congratulations to the 30th Annual EXCEL Award winners,” said Amy Lestition, CAE, Association Media &
Publishing Executive Director. “By producing and delivering content in a variety of formats, these associations
continue to raise the standard for association publishing, We’re thrilled to honor their work and inspiration, which

Lisa Junker, CAE, IOM, EXCEL Award Chair added,” This year's award winners truly demonstrate the energy
and creativity that goes into association publications, communications, and media, at associations of all sizes.
We're proud to honor their innovative work."

Award recipients will be recognized at the 30th Annual EXCEL Awards Gala which celebrates association media,
on Monday, June 14, 2010, at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC. The evening will begin with a reception at
