By its nature, public relations is devoted to serving particular interests by presenting them to the public in the most specialists and students to meet, mingle and learn from each other. It is the ideal meeting to reach the key people involved in ag communications today. The meeting has much to offer agrimarketers and ag communications professionals. Professional development is the cornerstone of this meeting, and it's packed with leading industry experts, speakers, training sessions, workshops, personal motivation and professional achievement recognition. There's also a great trade show.

AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL EDITORS' ASSOCIATION (AAEA AAEA American Agricultural Economics Association AAEA African American Environmentalist Association (Washington, Maryland) AAEA American Agricultural Editors Association AAEA Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators ) Greg Lamp, president of AAEA Still a toddler, the Agricultural Publications Summit now celebrates its fifth birthday. Like any child, it continues to grow stronger each year with its supportive sponsors, a varied InfoExpo and top professional development programs. The idea of separate groups coming together in one meeting has been a hit. The breadth of programming--with more available funds--far surpasses what any of the groups could accomplish on its own. When AAEA operated its own communication clinic just for its membership, programming was limited. The caliber of speakers couldn't touch the quality now available. Also, when writing and photography workshops were offered, they came with an extra charge. Today, with APS, everything is included in one all-encompassing fee. Sometime, take a look at other conference fees. You'll find APS to be a bargain. Where else could you find the variety of breakout sessions and keynote speakers for a $245 pricetag? But beyond the professional development APS provides, it's just fun to once again see your friends and peers. Cleveland is also a great location for fun.

With that in mind, the Livestock Publications Council (LPC)--117 publications, 77 communications organizations and 12 students--used 2002-03 to take conscious stock of the organization's relevance to members, as well as the livestock industry that its members serve.

As well, LPC will continue to leverage the resources of its members through participation in the Agricultural Publications Summit, a joint effort with American Agricultural Editors' Association and the ABM--Agri-Council.
