The former President has agreed to be the featured speaker at this year's convention in Little Rock, Ark., which will be held June 15-17. The three-day convention will also feature an opening night reception at the Clinton Presidential Library.
Amy Gill's primary responsibility will be the association's aan.org Web site. She comes to AAN from the Gulf Restoration Network, an environmental advocacy nonprofit where she had been the director of operations. She was also previously a staff writer at Impact News/Southern Voice, a New Orleans-based GLBT weekly.
A 33 percent increase in the monthly traffic count enabled AAN's collaborative news site to pass the quarter-million mark in unique visitors. AltWeeklies.com traffic has increased exponentially since April, when the number of unique visitors was less than 10,000. Most of that growth has come from AAN members who run AltWeeklies.com teasers, which have also increased traffic on their own sites.
This year AAN put out no ordinary awards book. Among the honored first-place entries is a Pulitzer Prize-winning story by Willamette Week's Nigel Jaquiss. "Best AltWeekly Writing and Design 2005" offers a wide selection of riveting reading, produced by some seasoned writers and others just beginning to make their mark. The bookstore-quality volume is designed to reach a wider audience than ever.
Yeah, the hotel elevators were slow and some of the speakers rambled. But according to the results of an online survey, AAN members overwhelmingly considered this year's convention in San Diego an overall success -- thanks largely to informative seminars and lively parties like the one pictured above. Here's a rundown of members' responses.
For years now, AAN.org has had interesting features and content, but a great deal of it was hidden behind an opaque interface. The redesign unveils these formerly hidden features; starting today, you should be able to figure out how to use them without an instruction manual. There's still work to do, but the redesigned site clearly is simpler, requires less scrolling, and offers faster access to important content. Also new: AAN Wire and the AAN Library.
