APGA’s quarterly magazine, THE SOURCE, brings an important perspective to the natural gas industry, informing and educating our members through timely and relevant articles. We welcome all of our industry to get involved as our magazine grows and becomes a central voice on the most pressing issues.
Your advertisement in THE SOURCE reaches top managers who make day-to-day decisions about running their utilities and the elected and appointed policymakers who approve operating budgets and major capital expenditures.
"THE SOURCE is an excellent tool our company is using to inform not only our management team internally about current issues surrounding the natural gas industry, but also elected officials for each of the communities served by our company. It is our unified voice for the natural gas industry."

Marketing and Communications Manager, The Southeast Alabama Gas District Andalusia, AL
“APGA is the voice and choice of public gas. This magazine is a great way to make this voice heard and highlight the accomplishments of APGA.”

Go Beyond the Publication
Catch readers’ attention by placing a flier, brochure or postcard inside the clear bag in which the publication is mailed. Whether you are promoting an event, a new product or your entire product line, placing a direct-mail piece in the polybag with our publication will ensure tremendous exposure for your company.
Ensure your message is the first readers see by wrapping it around the publication with a belly band. Since readers must detach the belly band to access the rest of the publication, your ad is ideally placed to be noticed.
Additional mechanical charges may apply. Rate is per insertion. Reservation is on a first-come first-served basis.
