ASBPE Western Region Awards Luncheon July 27

You won't want to miss the Western Region Awards Banquet, presented by KC Chapter of the American Society of Business Press Editors! We'll be announcing the 2011 winners for the regional awards, plus you'll hear a short presentation by one of the award finalists.

Speaker: Amy Fischbach, a contributing editor for Transmission and Distribution World magazine and incoming president of the national ASBPE, is a finalist for a national award for the special section titled Electric Utility Operations.  Fischbach contributed “Once a Lineman, Always a Lineman” to the award-winning special section. In her presentation, she will talk about the work that went into the winning entry and share copies of the section with the attendees.

What you'll take away from the presentation:

• How to tackle technical topics.
• How to reach out to your readers.
• How to use strong images to tie a special section together visually.
