This month marks my third year at NAPT. I'm very proud of our accomplishments-new projects and new partners that steer us towards our mission of supporting the creation, promotion and distribution of Native Media. NAPT is fortunate to have a group of very dedicated and talented employees. We're backed by a national board that brings a wealth of experience to our governance.
