Unlike most marriages,
the one between the former New England Newspaper and New England Press
associations had its first celebratory get-together a little more than
seven months after the wedding.
Members and leaders
of the New England Newspaper and Press Association gathered at the first
NENPA Convention and Trade Show Friday, Feb. 5, and Saturday, Feb. 6,
at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
Now the focus will
shift to forging a stronger union in the coming year, according to Mary
Pat Rowland, who was elected president of the association at its annual
meeting Feb. 6.
Rowland, managing
editor of Foster’s Daily Democrat of Dover, N.H., said NENPA board
members spent the seven months since the organization’s founding
getting to know each other and taking care of organizational matters.
Rowland said she hopes to focus this year on building the organization,
which was created from a merger of the New England Newspaper Association
and New England Press Association July 1.
