The Texas Associated Press Managing Editors board has another great program for you in the works with this year’s annual convention in Galveston in March.
The convention will be held March 28-30 at the Hotel Galvez, a Wyndham historic hotel in Galveston. The hotel is located on Seawall Boulevard.
For more information and to register for this year’s convention, visit our 2008 Convention section.
The cutoff date for hotel reservations at the special “Texas APME” rate was February 25th.
The room block could not be extended past the 25th. However, the APME has rooms that can be reserved by attendees at the convention rate.
To reserve one of these room, you must call Pam Collins at 972-677-2262 or e-mail pcollins@ap.org. The room rate is still $129 and these remaining rooms are available on a first come, first served basis.

The challenges are familiar: Circulation decline, revenue decline, migration to online, shrinking staff and rising demands.
That’s the headline, but dig a little farther and some innovative ideas emerge. At the Texas APME Convention in Galveston March 28-30, you’ll have the chance to hear some of those ideas and meet some of the innovators.
We’d like to hear your success stories, your creative solutions, your innovations. How are the state’s editors coping? What’s working? Who’s innovating?
Please contact Larry Lutz, managing editor development & copy desk at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, with your contributions. He’s especially interested in best practices, innovations and solutions. If you’ve got one you can share, please let him know at llutz@star-telegram or 817-390-7121.
