Nonprofit Business Advisor

Nonprofit Business Advisor has won recognition from peers in the publishing industry with an APEX 2011 Award of Excellence in the category of How-To Writing.

APEX 2011, the 23rd Annual Awards for Publication Excellence, is an international competition sponsored by the editors of Writing That Works: The Business Communications Report. Since 1988, APEX Awards have recognized outstanding publications throughout the communication and publishing industry.

This year, awards were given in 130 communication categories under eleven main headings, including newsletters; magazines and journals; annual reports; brochures, Web and intranet sites; one-of-a-kind publications and more.

APEX judges report “the awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the success of the entry -- in the opinion of the judges -- in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence.”

We are pleased to report that The Newsletter on Newsletters (TNON) has awarded its 2010 Award for Best How-To Reporting to Nonprofit Business Advisor for the article, “Maximize the Impact of Your Humanitarian Work” which was published in the September 2009 issue of the newsletter.

The Newsletter on Newsletters, which offers news, views and trends to newsletter and information services professionals, said the winning article, “was well-written…held the reader’s interest,” and “included benefits of standardized guidelines to help improve organizational impact, lessons learned to help guide organizations through their efforts, and times for reviewing current codes of conduct.”
