Senior Director of Membership Marketing & Chapter Relations at CTAM
Washington D.C. Metro Area
I have more than 15 years of experience in marketing in the not-for-profit arena, with the last six of that at the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing. CTAM is by far the most interesting, nimble and forward-thinking association I’ve worked for and I’ve fallen madly in love with the cable industry. Prior to entering the not-for-profit field, I flirted with a career in direct sales, even selling cemetery property at one point.
My two areas of expertise are planning and executing integrated membership marketing campaigns and working with chapters.
My newest passion is determing how to harness all of the interest in online networking and turning it into a service for our members.
