NMBA MEMBERS VISIT PUBWEST ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Publishers Association of the West (PubWest) held its annual conference here at Santa Fe’s La Fonda from Thursday, Feb. 7, through Saturday, Feb. 9. PubWest leaders and members greeted more than four NMBA drop-ins on February 9, the final day of the Annual Conference at La Fonda. Although none of us had signed in, it was simple just to walk up to the large vendor display areas in the spacious ballroom. 

Nancy Bartlit, Pat Brown, Jim Mafchir, Jessie Emerson, and Richard Polese were greeted informally by PubWest’s leaders and members. We took time to visit the many booths with reps from national printers, publishers, designers, agents, and more.

PubWest has held its Annual Conference at La Fonda twice before. We invited them to return again soon. Book people from across the West love to come to New Mexico.
