AM&P PUBLISHER
Carla Kalogeridis, editorial director for
Association Media & Publishing, has
accepted the role of publisher for the

her service as editorial director, Kalogeridis will work with industry service

the association
publishing and
communications

of several popular columns and departments in Signature, a magazine re-design,
a rebranding of the organization, renaming of several publications, establishment
of the Content Creation Committee, and
more.
"I'm getting up to speed on the sponsorship and sales responsibilities, but so
far, after almost nine years working with
AM&P, it's a lot like calling up all your
friends and having these wonderfully
frank conversations about their business
goals and how AM&P can help," says
Kalogeridis. "It's a natural progression
of my responsibilities here, and I am
truly excited about the opportunity."
"Carla has an intimate knowledge
of the association sector and numerous solid relationships among AM&P
members," says John T. Adams III,
AM&P's executive director. "We are
confident that she will be able to help
our industry service providers achieve
their marketing goals through fresh
and creative exposure to the association
publishing industry." n
