AMS SESSIONS
STILL AVAILABLE
TO VIEW
If you were not able to make it to New Orleans or you
attended a different session and wanted to still see
another, there were several sessions that were recorded.
Those that were streamed are at http://agmediasummit.blogspot.com/
Oh....and it’s free!
Make sure you are using
the correct
LPC logo!
You can download the correct LPC logo from the LPC website
www.livestockpublications.com. You can use the color as it is or
change it to fit your publication.
Interns for the 2011 American Royal Livestock Show: Robin
Kleine, Kansas State University; Kasey Lettunich, Texas A&M
University; Emily Moore, University of Illinois; and Kelli
Fulkerson, South Dakota State University. This program is in its
second year and was developed and co-sponsored by LPC.
Jennifer Shike, University of Illinois, pictured in the center, has
been instrumental in making this program work. Thank you to
Jennifer and all of the other volunteers who helped to edit stories,
many as a “virtual editor” which was a great help.
Reminder that Job
Postings are on the
LPC site
Since the job postings can take up a lot of space in the
Actiongram, you can now post directly to the site at www.livestockpublications.com. Click on job postings and sign up with a
user name (e-mail address) and password. Upon approval by
LPC, you may then post as many jobs as you wish. There is a
limit of 500 words for the job description. When the job is filled
or you want to delete the post, it’s simple to log back on and
delete the job description. We hope that everyone finds this to be
easier and much more efficient with job openings. Now you
won’t have to wait for an Actiongram to be distributed and these
posts are open to the world. You must be an LPC member
to post jobs. There are several listed right now too -- check
them out!•
