It was great to meet all of the Lit Mag people in St. Louis this morning. Bob and I had a great time, and really enjoyed being able to present . We had 70 people in attendance! We will be working on making the presentation into a movie/podcast. We will be posting it either here or on the PSPA website.
Again it was great to meet all of you.

Press Organizations
Does your state have a student press association? Do you belong to it? Did you know that there are several national student press associations? Do you belong to any of them?
With the JEA/NSPA conference in less than a week, I have been thinking about what we are trying to do with this blog and what resources are out there. One of the best ways to get help with you publications, other than this blog, is to join your state organization. These organizations are structured differently from state to state, however, they all work to help advisers and publication staff to develop their magazines. They also give you a network of people who are passionate about publications as well. I have mentioned this topic before, but as I become more involved with these organizations, I see the potential that they provide for networking and guidance.
Bob and I are on the eve of becoming the President (Bob) and Vice President (Mike) of the Pennsylvania School Press Association. We work with a group of professionals that are passionate about publications and spreading our knowledge throughout Pennsylvania and beyond. We are also on the eve of presenting in St. Louis. We helped with the JEA/NSPA conference in Philadelphia last year. All of these things have given us the chance to share and learn from a lot of people from around our state and nation. These interactions have helped us with our publication as much as any help we were able to provide.
Become a member of a press organization! Get involved! You will meet a lot of other great advisers and professionals. You can avail yourself of the resources that a press organization can provide.
