Trade associations have a history of running successful publications. The AARP publishes AARP and the Magazine and the Society of Human Resource Management has HR Magazine. We have a statewide audience we can tap.

We've got a capable point guard running things. I wouldn't trade Andre (Miller) for anybody.

We are thrilled to have the Governor as our keynote speaker. She recognizes the importance of paying tribute to women who are dedicated to superior professional standards in Michigan. Throughout these 10 years, we have honored many highly accomplished women.

We had wanted to enhance our association magazine and had been talking about that for months.

This first edition came together much smoother than I thought it would. This really has been seamless.

The point is -- ad we know this from history -- that if currencies remain way out of line, trade protectionism follows.
