We hate to brag, but our publications just keeping getting better. We’ve got 14 2019 NAMPA awards to prove it!
In 2018 our efforts were recognized when we came home with 11 awards from the North America Mature Publishers Association (NAMPA) conference. This year found us with 14 NAMPA awards in hand—for writing, design, and general excellence overall.
We couldn’t have done it without our dedicated staff and collection of super-hero writers, who consistently give us fresh content that’s relevant and impactful to our readers.
It only confirms what we’ve known all along—any aches and pains from our efforts to provide great content for Montana and Idaho seniors have all been well worth it.
We hope, dear reader, that you enjoy our papers as much as we do!
