This group works to coordinate APME's message through APME News, APME Update and APME.com. To this end, we'll focus on making each medium distinctive and revamping the APME Web site. This committee will investigate the organization's branding and work with marketing and the other committees to spread information about the myriad projects and the 2006 conference in New Orleans.

APME Secretary David Ledford of The News Journal in Wilmington, Del., oversees these activities.
