April 2010 Rising Star Award Winners

Y! Brenna
Congratulations to our April Rising Star winners. For more information on this award, please see our Contest page.

Dr. Casey Adams, a Naturopath and author of eight books, joined Associated Content in January and is already a Featured Alternative Medicine Contributor. His first-hand experience offers a unique and expert perspective to his content, including "Dairy and Weight Loss: Whey and CLA Help Suppress Appetite and Reduce Body Fat."

Becca Grenier is a mom and art teacher, has taught students from pre-K to 12th grade, designed and run school websites, managed school publicity, worked as a graphic designer-and can now add Featured Education Contributor and Rising Star to that list. Don't miss her piece, "Art Teacher Without a Job? Staying Relevant in Art Education While Job-Hunting."

Lisa McNamara just joined Associated Content in February and already has nearly 15,000 page views. Her piece, "Minute to Win It Challenges That Make Great Party Games" earned her nearly 9,000 page views alone. Lisa is also a Featured Parenting and Dating & Relationships Contributor.

Tony Payne has made quite an impression on fellow Contributors in his short four months on the site. He is now a mainstay in the Forum and has nearly as many fans as he does published pieces of content, which explains why so many Contributors nominated him for this award. Check out his piece, "Coverage of Iceland Volcano and Tennessee Flooding Raise Newsworthy Questions."

Featured Parenting Contributor, Gina Grace, joined in January and has already published over 100 pieces of content and has more than 10,000 page views. A mother of 4, Gina brings years of experience to her pieces like, "Five Must-Have Toys for a Road Trip with Kids."

    WOW thanks so much to everyone who nominated me, and congratulations also to Casey, Becca, Lisa and Gina. It took me a while to find this post, following people congratulating me. I wondered if it was April 1st, and then had to pinch myself.
    You inspire me to work on more articles, more page views, and a wider exposure for AC at the same time.
