AWNA and AdCanada Media have started a round of publishers’ market area meetings.  The main purpose of these meetings is to introduce AdCanada Media and showcase what publishers can expect come January 1, 2020 when Ad Canada starts representing AWNA members to the national advertising marketplace.  Also on the agenda will be a discussion about AWNA services that will continue to be offered beyond January 1st.
