Happy & Humbled
NEO Boomer Snags National Awards
Beep, beep!
That’s us tooting our own horn, but in the most humble and grateful way possible.
Northeast Ohio Boomer magazine earned first place for General Excellence and six other first-place awards for editorial content and design at the North American Mature Publishers Association (NAMPA) annual convention Sept. 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Boomer competed among magazines with circulations of 25,001 to 50,000.
Our Caregiver Corner columnist Jennifer Beach was recognized in the “Senior Issues” category for her “broad understanding of issues families face as a senior member ages.”
A story by editor Marie Elium about the Cavs Wine & Goldies dance team took first place for “Feature Writing.” Our Worth Noting section also earned the top award for writing.
NEO Boomer took first place for Overall Design and the Table of Contents design by art director Laura Chadwick.
An autumn watercolor (pictured here) by local artist Virginia Phillips and designed by Chadwick resulted in first place for “Front Cover (Illustration).”
While awards are nice, our main job is to provide content that celebrates Better Living After 50. Thanks for your great ideas, constructive criticism and continued support.

Congratulations Boomer team! You’re awesome
