NASBP reports at its Annual Meeting that it is set to publish the first issue of its new magazine, Surety Bond Quarterly, this summer. The free publication will keep surety professionals up to date on the trends, legislative matters and research that affect their industry.
The Summer 2014 inaugural issue will feature a look back at the 2014 NASBP Annual Meeting and Expo, which is taking place Sunday through Wednesday in San Antonio, Texas. It also will include a profile of incoming NASBP President Thomas Padilla.
Articles in the Summer 2014 issue will address crucial matters related to contract surety and commercial surety claims. Other pieces will examine such topics as making the most of networking opportunities and strengthening relationships with and conveying value to stakeholders and construction clients.
In addition, each issue will contain recurring features such as “Practical Insights” that offer important information for surety professionals and their clients.
NASBP wants the magazine to reach and educate not just the NASBP membership, but also clients and other stakeholders.
“Surety Bond Quarterly is an exciting new addition to our existing communication pieces,” said NASBP CEO Mark McCallum. “NASBP is proud to continue to provide our membership key industry information important for their businesses to succeed and to bring information about the value and critical significance of surety bonds to the community of public owners; government officials at local, state and federal levels; and numerous end-users of the surety product.”
Surety Bond Quarterly, which will be the first publication of its kind for the association, will be available in print and digital editions. It is being published through a partnership with Naylor, a provider of media and event-management solutions for associations.
A website will launch in the near future to offer additional information about the magazine and how to sign up for the print and digital editions, which are complimentary to those interested.
