The Steamship Historical Society of America (SSHSA) Selects Cornerstone to Redesign, Revitalize Publication

This non-profit maritime society will celebrate its 75th Anniversary during 2010 and it promises to be an exciting year of activities, as well as membership and financial growth.

The Steamship Historical Society of America (SSHSA) has signed Cornerstone for re-design and production of the society's official magazine. The newly designed publication will boast a new title, beautiful photographs and illustrations depicting the maritime heritage of powerful ships, legendary passengers and hardworking crews presented in full-color throughout.

While the economic downturn has stunted growth of many associations SSHSA membership is growing – and Cornerstone is working closely with the society's management team to generate revenues from sponsorships, advertising and special events celebrating the 75th Anniversary.

Cornerstone is the right call for fresh ideas, lower costs and extraordinary results at rates that fit small and medium size non-profit organizations.
