Aug 7, 2012

Rob Bishop and Barry Klein's monthly "For-Profits" column has been honored by the American Society of Business Press Editors with one of the 2012 ASBPE Awards of Excellence - or the Azbee Awards, as they're informally known. Rob and Barry won the Gold award in the Midwest-South Region for "Sales Pitch" (December 2011).

It's the seventh regional award for AB in the past five years, following national Gold awards in 2006 and 2007, and the first for Rob and Barry.
