ACMA National Catalog Forum Recap Articles & Presentation Materials From The May 8-9 Event Plus Recaps of ACMA's May 7th Capitol Hill Fly-in & May 10th USPS/MPA Meeting   Dear Catalog Executive:   ACMA has made available a number of speaker Powerpoint presentations and links to articles that appeared in Multichannel Merchant and Retail Online Integration magazines on sessions from the 6th Annual National Catalog Forum in Washington.

If you were with us the week of May 6th in Washington, you know the direct impact you made with the speakers and other decision makers who met with us. In fact, we're eyeing another May or June week next year in Washington for the 7th Annual ACMA National Catalog Forum, with the likelihood of a Hill fly-in to take place the day after the Forum. We hope to finalize the dates soon.    Between the one-two squeeze catalogers are feeling right now from postal and tax challenges, despite all the great work ACMA and its members are doing, one can assume that there will be plenty more hurdles to deal with 12 months from now. So plan now, get this into your 2014 budget, and make sure you're on hand for our 2014 event.   Best, Paul Miller Vice President & Deputy Director American Catalog Mailers Association 914-669-8391 pmiller@catalogmailers.org                                                                                          ###   About ACMA ACMA is a Washington-based not-for-profit organization specifically created to advocate for the unique collective interests of catalog mailers in regulatory, public and administrative matters where the shared impact transcends individual company interests.
