South African editor wins TABPI Young Leaders Scholarship

A previous South African winner was Natalia Thomson of Now Media, who is also currently the joint co-ordinator of TABPI South Africa Editors' Chapter.

The scholarship allows younger editors - who might otherwise be unable - to attend an educational b2b editorial event. This year's scholarship is to attend the ASBPE Editorial Conference, scheduled for July 24 - 25, 2008 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The conference contains an evening networking event on July 23, followed by two full days of intensive editorial sessions on topics that will include: useful seminars, panel discussions, and workshops targeted at editors of business, trade, and association print and Web publications. It is a chance to network with fellow business editors in an interactive setting designed for editors, with top-notch, cutting-edge speakers.

This year's YLS program is sponsored by TABPI and the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE), with generous support from TABPI Platinum Sponsor FosteReprints.
