By Marilee Yorchak, CAE
•Congratulations to Casey Carey. Casey accepted a new job at VP of Product Marketing for WebTrends in Portland, OR. We will miss Casey on the board, but we are excited for his new opportunity and glad he is keeping his BMA Colorado membership!
•Our deepest sympathies to the family of Robert Feeney, who passed away Dec. 23. Bob received the very first Communicator of the Year award from BMA (then BPAA) in 1985. Bob worked at Johns Manville and the Archdiocese of Denver.
•Many many thanks to our BMA members who helped us with this year’s hard copy membership directory: Tom Tucker, CBC, T&R Graphic Imaging for printing & paper, Luann Wood of Your Bindery Finishing for bindery work, Matt Meeks of Moo for design and layout, and Carla Johnson, Type A Communications, for proofreading. A SPECIAL thanks to all our advertisers – without them we could not produce and distribute this important member benefit. If you did not receive your member directory, contact Marilee .
•Kudos to Condit Exhibits (Tami Angelo, Ned Mackey, Jessica Giess). Condit was recently featured on Good Morning America for the display they designed for the City of Denver to be spotlighted in the window of ABC News studio in Times Square. Only three cities were chosen. The display featured models of the city’s top holiday icons.
•Congratulations to Lisa RiCharde, now Lisa Fairbanks (Aegis Corporation) on her recent nuptials.
•Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Barb Gilroy, Lange Graphics, who just had foot surgery.
•Susan Osborne, formerly with Citizen Pictures, has formed her own company, SporteeGal Journals, focusing on the women’s golf and tennis market (www.sporteegal.com).
•Did you know? In 2009, BMA Colorado will celebrate our 60th anniversary! The BMA Colorado chapter was inaugurated in 1949; the national BMA was formed in 1922. Also in 2009, we will award our 25th Communicator of the Year! If you have ideas on how to help us celebrate or would like to be on the committee – please let us know! (info@bmacolorado.org)
