NCJW Wins Two Top MarCom Awards

November 30, 2006, New York -- The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) has won two top 2006 MarCom Creative Awards for its marketing and communications efforts. The Summer 2006 NCJW Journal: Facing the Crisis in Women's Health Care took home a platinum award -- MarCom's premier prize -- for exceptional magazine standards. And NCJW's website, www.ncjw.org, scored a 2006 gold award for its online excellence. This marks the third consecutive year that the NCJW Journal and website have been acknowledged in this prestigious international competition.

The MarCom Creative Awards, administered by the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals, recognize the outstanding achievements of marketing and communications professionals. Industry experts critique the entries, identifying companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the field. This year, judges considered over 5,000 entries from across the United States and around the world.

"Once again, I am incredibly proud that MarCom has recognized NCJW's marketing efforts, both in print and online. Our coordinated outreach keeps members and supporters across the country up to date and in the thick of our nation's most pressing debates," said NCJW President Phyllis Snyder. "This honor -- our third in three years -- highlights our collective commitment not only to our message, but to our important mission."

NCJW has received a long list of industry honors in recent years, including a 2006 Simon Rockower Award from the American Jewish Press Association for the NCJW Journal, several Communicator Awards, and a Webby Award for www.ncjw.org. The brochure for BenchMark: NCJW's Campaign to Save Roe is also showcased in the Willoughby Design Group's The Best of Brochure Design 8 (2005) and the book The Design of Dissent.

NCJW is a volunteer organization, inspired by Jewish values, that works to improve the quality of life for women, children, and families and to ensure individual rights and freedoms for all through its network of 90,000 members, supporters, and volunteers nationwide.
