Good afternoon,

I hope you had a chance to join us in Hershey, PA Tuesday, March 13 for the I-SCMA Circulation Sessions during America East. First Vice President Bill McMahon put together a great program featuring information on ABC changes plus real-world examples of how paywalls are working for one newspaper group.

In case you didn't make it to Hershey, both presentations are available on our website at http://bit.ly/A9LEzw. While you're on the site, be sure to like our Facebook page to receive organization updates, and bookmark the 2011 buyer's guide page - http://bit.ly/zON8rR - to connect with some of our fabulous sponsors or vendors.

If you haven't marked your calendar yet, please save the dates of October 7 to 9 for our 2012 conference. We'll gather at the Sheraton Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore, MD for some fun and a lot of learning this fall.

Watch for more information about the conference, as well as updates on what your officers, directors, and committee chairs have planned for I-SCMA this year. A survey is in the works to learn more about what you value about the organization, as well as how it might grow in order to continue meeting the needs of today's circulation and audience professionals.

Our conference theme is "Defining Our Future," and we'll be working throughout the year to do exactly that. Please contact me if you'd like to get involved, and help shape our change.

Sincerely,
Dan Christ
President, I-SCMA
