Changes on AQUA's staff

Things are happening here at AQUA. (Judging by the conversations I've had with industry members over the past few weeks, things are happening with you, too.) And as spring begins another pool season and we start to thaw out, anxiously awaiting the busy summer ahead, we want to update you on some changes here at AQUA.

The editorial structure of AQUA is changing to help meet future challenges. This will mean new responsibilities for Barrett Kilmer, Scott Webb and Jenna Danninger. Our thanks go to Kirstin Pires, the outgoing editor whose face and comments have graced this editorial page for six years.  We highly value the contribution she made to the magazine and the industry. Her hard work was reflected in the pages of every issue.

Another change here at AQUA is the addition of Adam O'Brien to our advertising sales team. Adam is already familiar with the AQUA family and our industry, having previously sold booth space for the AQUA Show a few years back. We are excited to have Adam on board as our eastern account executive, and advertisers can look forward to hearing from him in the coming weeks to discuss marketing plans for the rest of 2009 and beyond.

With change happening everywhere we turn today, AQUA is excited for the future as change often brings new opportunities. One thing will stay the same, however - a dependable, thoughtful AQUA Magazine delivered to your door every month.
