WHEATON, IL -- At its July board of directors meeting, the Association of Closet and Storage Professionals (ACSP) voted to select CLOSETS magazine as the association’s “official publication.”

CLOSETS, a publication of Vance Publishing Corporation of Lincolnshire, IL, printed its first issue in November 2003 and has played a leadership role in the closet and home organization industry ever since.

Founded in 2005, the ACSP and CLOSETS have forged many dynamic partnerships highlighted by the annual Closets & Home Organization Conference & Expo. The ACSP and CLOSETS will once again co-sponsor the Closets Conference & Expo, February 23-25, 2011 in Charlotte, NC.

In addition to naming CLOSETS as the association’s official publication, ACSP board members pledged to share their knowledge and experience through articles and guest columns in the bi-monthly publication and contribute how-to articles and blogs on ClosetsMagazine.com.

"An important goal of the ACSP is to disseminate valuable information for closet company owners, managers and staff that will assist them in riding out this economic downturn and prepare them for the rebound," said Jeff Klein, president of ACSP and owner of Closet Specialist of Savannah, GA.

“We truly appreciate the ACSP’s support with the Closets Conference and the publication,” said Laurel Didier, Publisher of CLOSETS. “ACSP has its fingers on the pulse of the home organization industry. We look forward to a long, fruitful partnership. Working together, we can help strengthen the industry by identifying and creating new opportunties for growth.”
