The third day of the NNPA Annual Convention opened with a publishers' roundtable convened by NNPA Chairman Danny Bakewell, Sr. General matters relating to the organization were discussed and incoming national officers and board members were sworn in. Bakewell received a standing ovation from the assembled publishers. He then formally turned the 'reins' of NNPA over to incoming Chairman Cloves Campbell, Jr., publisher of the Arizona Informant.
The convention ended with an evening/nighttime boat ride down the Chicago River and into Lake Michigan on Chicago's First Lady, sponsored by GM. NNPA members and their guest kept the party rocking as they watched a fireworks display over the water.
