JCC Association Recognized for Innovation in Media and Publishing
Presented with a 2009 EXCEL Award
New York,NY, April 29, 2009—JCC Association is being honored by the Society of National Association Publications (SNAP) at its 29th Annual EXCEL Awards, which recognize the best and the brightest in association media and publishing.
As one of 181 winners selected from nearly 1,000 entries, JCC Association is being presented a Gold Award in the Magazine: Feature Article category for taking bold chances and delivering excellence in the association industry.
“Congratulations to JCC Association, one of the recipients of our EXCEL Awards,” said Amy Lestition, CAE, SNAP’s executive director. “These publications demonstrate the importance of conveying content in a variety of formats to our constituents. Bravo to the publication and media association professionals for their mastery of the field.” Robin Ballin, JCC Association senior vice-president of marketing and communications, said, “We are delighted to be honored by SNAP. We strive to be relevant to our constituents and continue to share with them the bigger picture of the Jewish Community Center Movement.“
“JCC Circle, the magazine of the JCC Movement, tries to highlight the energy and creativity of Jewish Community Centers across North America,” said Miriam Rinn, editor of JCC Circle and the author of the winning article. “This article, ‘The Glatt Kosher JCC,’ focused on how JCCs serve the ultra-Orthodox community, a group that most people assume do not use JCCs. It shows that JCCs serve an astonishingly diverse population, from hipsters to Hasidim.” Rinn added, “We’re thrilled to receive the Gold Award. It’s a real honor to be recognized and validated by our peers.”
JCC Association will be honored and celebrated at the 29th EXCEL Awards Gala on June 4, 2009. Award winning entries are displayed at the EXCEL Awards Gala and are featured in the July/ August issue of Association Publishing. JCC Association may also be a winner of the distinguished EXTRA! Awards—presented to associations pushing the edge of the envelope further to innovate in an ever-changing publishing environment—which will be announced at the EXCEL Awards Gala in June.
