The Direct Marketing Association of Washington’s Educational Foundation (DMAW-EF) was established in 1986 by leaders of the Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW) who saw the need to educate young people about the possibilities of, and potential in, a direct marketing career.

DMAW-EF’s first officers, Ed Sisk, Catherine Lincoln, and Bill Armistead, understood that it would be necessary to develop faculty understanding of the industry and to make it possible to offer direct marketing courses and programs at the college and university level.

Since then, DMAW-EF has been expanding its programs to fulfill this mission. The DMAW-EF, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, has become the link between direct marketing professionals, educators, and students interested in careers in direct marketing.
