Cited for website, series writing, content and design of entire issue

CEO Update has been awarded three top honors in the 25th annual APEX competition for publication excellence, recognizing the publication's achievement in print and digital platforms.

A Grand Award, the highest honor, was won by the publication's website, www.ceoupdate.com, relaunched this past year. Judges said, "This really marvelous, redesigned website starts at an interesting home page, with main and secondary stories to choose from. The site is state of the art, with useful ‘subscribe' and ‘job posting' links, as well as nicely integrated LinkedIn and Twitter elements. Navigation is easy, content is extensive and the look and feel of the site is first rate. The old site was solid; the new, exceptional. Nothing more to ask for here."

Two awards of excellence also honored the print side.

In the newsletter category, APEX recognized the content and design of the entire issue, which included revamped front page, dynamic index and new, recurring features.

Reporter Bill Ehart was singled out for writing honors in the series category, for his four-part examination of the changing business model of associations.

CEO Update, the publication that covers news and executive careers in associations, has earned eight Apex awards since entering competition in 2010, two of them Grand Awards.
