ADA News, JADA and the ADA Division of Global Affairs each won EXCEL Awards from the Board of Directors of Association Media & Publishing for material published last year.

The American Dental Association International Volunteer Web page won a Silver EXCEL Award for online publishing: website, special members area category.

The Web page, launched in July 2009, includes personal photographs from ADA International Development Subcommittee members. The International Dental Volunteer Guide section of the web page, "Get Involved," was edited by both the ADA Division of Global Affairs and Dr.  Frank Serio, associate dean for clinical affairs and professor, East Carolina University School of Dentistry. Bark Design of Chicago worked with Global Affairs in designing the page.

ADA News won a Bronze EXCEL Award for the Feb. 2, 2009, and Feb. 16, 2009, issues in the design excellence category for newspapers. JADA won a Bronze Excel Award for its March 2009 issue in the cover illustration category for journals.

The groups were among 175 winners representing 91 non-profit organizations and associations. They were selected from nearly 1,000 entries.

Winners were chosen for displaying exemplary work in editorial, design, advertising and marketing, online publishing, mobile applications, digital editions and electronic newsletter categories.

"Congratulations to the 30th Annual EXCEL Award winners," said Amy Lestition, Association Media & Publishing executive director. "By producing and delivering content in a variety of formats, these associations continue to raise the standard for association publishing. We're thrilled to honor their work and inspiration, which showcases the value of the association to their constituents."

Each group will be recognized June 14 at the 30th Annual EXCEL  Awards Gala in Washington D.C. ADA Publishing was notified of the award April 10.
