There are many important issues facing our industry today and our goal is to continue building on our strong board of directors with professionals who will carry us into the future!

To meet the needs of the organization, the board has decided to operate with a 21-member board versus the 22-member board we have had the past two years.

Currently, there are 9 members of the board who have decided to run for re-election; additionally, a total of 4 board members have completed their terms or are stepping down. To reach our 21-member board, we have 12 positions to fill.

The new nominees are:

  • Jim Chmielewski, Public Interest Communications
  • Tracy Lea, The Harrington Agency
  • Heather Philpot, Infogroup
  • Adva Priso, Anne Lewis Strategies
  • Jade Nguyen, The Lukens Company

The incumbents are:

  • Kate Carr, Silver Marketing
  • Meg Ferguson, Production Solutions
  • Roger Hiyama, Wiland
  • DeDi Oxenberg, CDR Fundraising Group
  • Polly Papsadore, PMG
  • Eric Rardin, Care2
  • Rebecca Shapalis, Avalon Consulting
  • Karen Somerville, American Nurses Association
  • Teresa Weaver, O’Brien Garrett

Voting will occur Monday, October 29 thru Friday, November 9. To vote, individuals must be DMAW members. Be sure to review the qualifications of each candidate and be ready to vote!

The industry leaders you put in office today will help DMAW meet your needs and keep the organization a vibrant, valuable tool in the careers of direct marketers in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area.

Thank you for taking an interest in this very important organizational process!
