Small newspaper publishers must apply by Wed. for highly rated forum to be held in Galveston May 20-22

Wednesday, April 11, is the last chance for publishers of small-circulation newspapers to apply to attend the Carmage Walls Leadership Forum, to be held May 20-22 at The Tremont Hotel in Galveston, Texas.

Fifteen newspaper executives will be selected to attend the program, which is designed to provide the small newspapers of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association a place to explore the issues most important to them and to mine the industry’s best minds for practical solutions. The agenda will be set entirely by those publishers through a questionnaire they will fill out in advance of the meeting.

Dolph Tillotson, executive vice president of Southern Newspapers Inc., will be the moderator, as he was last year, when participants in the conference rated it highly, with such comments as "hands down the best meeting I've attended in a long time" and "I have been to many two-day meetings, but this absolutely was the best. The discussion was honest, open and sincere. I also came away feeling much better about our industry knowing that these folks are involved and will be right beside me if needed."

To apply for a seat, submit this application no later than April 11. Questions should be addressed to SNPA Executive Director Edward VanHorn at edward@snpa.org.
