Die Casting Engineer magazine | |||
|
Die Casting Engineer magazine is published six times a year. The Chapter News section offers the opportunity for Chapters to tell the world about recent meetings, events and more. NADCA sends reminders prior to each issue’s deadline to make sure your chapter information has been submitted for publication. If there is a specific person that should receive these reminders for the Chapter, please let us know! How do I go about getting my Chapter meeting information in the magazine? Everything is now online! Simply go to www.diecasting.org/dce/news.htm and fill out the form. No need to handwrite and fax or mail. The very next day after your Chapter event, you can send NADCA your post-meeting summary with the new easy and convenient form. What format should the pictures be in? Photographs of guest speakers and members at the meetings and other chapter/regional events are a great way to highlight your Chapter in the magazine. Photographs can be E-mailed as long as the resolution of the photos is no less than 250 dpi. If the quality of an electronic photo is in question, the best bet is to send the original photo. All original photos can be returned upon request. How many pictures do you need? We will run as many pictures as we have room for in each issue, and any chapter that sends in photographs is guaranteed to have at least one appear in the magazine. Any pictures not used will be posted on the Chapter's section of NADCA's Web site, under "snapshots." The pictures most likely to be published are of only a few people, all of which are identified by name and company. A simple guideline is if you feel that the picture is possibly inappropriate, chances are it is! What are the deadlines? The deadline is the last Wednesday of November, January, March, May, July and September. Can I promote our meetings in DCE? Yes, meetings scheduled far enough in advance can and SHOULD be promoted in DCE! How do I get our monthly meeting notice in the magazine? The online Chapter News Reporting form has a place to fill out the information pertaining to your upcoming meetings. Keep in mind that the magazine mails every other month, so try sending meeting notices a couple months in advance to ensure they are published. How do I get my chapter event promoted on the web? Any NADCA Chapter in good standing may submit their information to be posted on NADCA's Web Site. Send your meeting notice electronically to anderson@diecasting.org. Please note that we can only accept files for a PC and prefer those created with any Microsoft® or Adobe® product. PDFs are the best! Should I issue press releases for chapter accomplishments? Yes, press releases can be sent to DCE Magazine for use in sections such as Chapter News, People and Industry News, and will be used at the staff’s discretion depending on the accomplishment. Also, don’t forget local newspapers, regional business publications and other technical associations if applicable. Examples of Press Releases for the Announcement of New Chapter Officers (PDF) and the Awarding of Scholarships (PDF). How can the Chapter get extra copies of the magazines, or subscriptions to give away? Any NADCA Chapter in good standing may request magazine subscriptions or extra copies. Subscriptions can be give to Scholarship Award Winners, Guest Speakers, or even raffle prizes at special events. To make a request, visit www.diecasting.org/chapter/issues.htm. It's that easy!
