As any past recipient will tell you, being named is the pinnacle of a career in the association industry (see last year&#8217;s recipients). [...]</description>

		<description>@Pat: Ann got the nod for best new blog (shared with two others) last year, but her posts had gotten a little ADD for my tastes, even before acknowledging it on her blog.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;@Matt: Cool. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.</description>

		<description>Ben, I notice you didn&#039;t mention in your list Ann Oliveri&#039;s blog, The Zen of Associations.  I confess I&#039;m not a huge reader of blogs, but I find Ann&#039;s posts to be some of the most literate and thought provoking on the web.  Pat</description>

		<description>I hope next year I can live up to the gold standard/A-list quality that I see among this crowd and join you. Maybe that will be part of my new year&#039;s resolution!</description>

		<description>Thank you for the kind words, Ben! And thanks especially for your recognition of Jason and Virgil--both of whom we&#039;re honored to have with us. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now we&#039;ll be even more challenged to raise the bar for ourselves in 2008!</description>

		<description>Two years running! Holy Cow! Now there&#039;s pressure. Is pressure allowed in the blogoclump? I hope not. Thanks again for the props, Ben. I will say what I said last year, which is the competition is not fair since you are not in the running. Jnott.</description>
