Natural Awakenings Publishing Corporation (NAPC) welcomed three new publishers to a recent training session at their headquarters in Naples, Florida. The NAPC staff spent several days with these entrepreneurs, dis­cussing the ins and outs of publishing a new Natural Awakenings edition in southern Idaho by Simone Anewalt; and taking over publication of two existing magazines, by Karen Propes, in Chattanooga, aided by her son, Zack; and by Tracy Patterson, in Phoenix. A new staff member of the Miami magazine, Leslie Cueva, also at­tended, accompanied by longtime owner Linda Palmer.

Founded by Chief Executive Officer Sharon Bruckman with a single edition in Naples in 1994, Natural Awakenings has grown to become one of the largest, free, local, healthy living publications in the world.
