GRAPHEK has been entering the AM&P EXCEL Awards for over 10 years. It's a great way to promote innovation, creativity, and excellence for the association community. When our work is recognized, not only does it validate our hard work, but it also boosts morale and motivates my team. It's a win-win situation."

The EXCEL Awards represent the best of association publishing. Yes, we are thrilled when our work is recognized as it reaffirms our commitment to excellence. However, there’s another element to the EXCEL Awards. We are honored to have our work judged by our peers in this great profession.

Our Silver Award for General Excellence helps assure our members that their magazine is among the best around. It’s also useful currency internally, as the magazine staff seeks support for exciting, digital-forward endeavors."

Not only was the judging very rewarding, I was delighted to connect with my peers during the pandemic, and to make sure we continued to honor and recognize the work being done. I can't wait until next year!

My association has won numerous EXCEL Awards over the years, and being a judge makes me feel like I am giving back to the AM&P Network community. The EXCEL Awards recognize excellence in association publishing, and I want other associations to feel the same sense of accomplishment and belonging that the EXCEL Awards have given my association.

Our president loves to brag about all we are doing for our members, so when we won the EXCEL Award, we did an all out media push to our membership. On top of that, we had a celebration in our office. Our Marketing and Communications teams were so proud of our accomplishment and it was awesome that our whole staff wanted to share in the success!
