Best Suppliers by Training Magazine

NEW YORK, April 7, 2003—American Management Association, the world’s leading membership-based management development organization, today announced that it has been named as one of the winners of Training magazine’s first annual Achieving Performance Excellence (APX) awards.

Subscribers of Training recognized AMA for it's excellence as a training provider in a special ballot that appeared in the January and February 2003 issues. More than 50,000 training professionals were asked to select the best suppliers in the field as measured by four criteria: value, ease of use, exceptional customer service and the ability to meet buyers’ expectations.

AMA received APX Awards in four training categories: Customer Service, Basic/Job Skills, Train the Trainer, and Culture, Language and Diversity.

“It’s an honor for AMA to be recognized for its products and customer service, particularly by those who have benefited directly from our programs. We have known for 80 years that AMA provides exceptional training, so it’s quite a tribute to have it confirmed by our customers,” said AMA President and CEO Ed Reilly.

“To be selected by such a high-profile audience of training professionals is a significant endorsement,” said Training magazine publisher Stacey Marmolejo. “We are pleased that we have created the APX program to further support the industry.”

A complete list of APX winners from 39 categories will appear in Training’s June 2003 issue and will be featured on the magazine’s Website at www.trainingmag.com.
