Less than 72 Hours to go before NEDMA ‘06
With less than 72 hours to go before NEDMA ‘06 finally kicks into gear, Craig Blake (Vice President of Sales at W.A. Wilde, Vice President of the New England Direct Marketing Association and co-chair of the conference), has just a few final words to say.
Once again, here’s Craig…
Frequent readers of this conference blog have had the opportunity to get a sneak peak at what you’ll be learning about on June 14 and 15 at NEDMA ‘06. Over the course of the past several months, we’ve had a countless number of contributors to the conversation on this blog. To all of those individuals, I just want to say thank you.
Of course, behind the scenes, there has been an array of volunteers making sure NEDMA ‘06 will be the best conference ever. And I’d like to take this moment to recognize a few of them…
First of all, my hat goes off to Pat Farley — of Farley Creative — for all of your effort in writing all of the promotional materials for NEDMA’ 06.
Doug Hamer — of DS Hamer Design — for all of the many hours you’ve spent creating all of the communications for the conference.
Ben Borne — of Newport Creative Communications — has done a masterful job as our manager of speaker relations, arranging all the details surrounding the speakers.
Cyndy Bro Higgins — of ResponsiveConcepts — has created all of our online communications, including this very blog, the NEDMA ‘06 Web site and online registration.
To NEDMA’s managing directors, Beth Drysdale and Pat Lee — of Drysdale Lee & Associates — thank you for all of your energy, effort and willingness to let me break a few rules.
Bob Cargill — my partner in crime and co-chair of NEDMA ‘06 — thank you for all of your support, energy and effort, especially in keeping this conversation going.
To all of the other committee members who have contributed to make NEDMA ‘06 so successful, thank you for all of your energy, enthusiasm, ideas and effort.
After all of those thank you’s, you probably get a feeling of the amount of hard work and effort that went into organizing NEDMA ‘06.
If you haven’t registered for NEDMA ‘06, please do it now by clicking here. Time is running out for you to join us at New England’s premier gathering of direct marketing professionals.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday and Thursday at NEDMA ‘06, It’s a Brave New World, the New England Direct Marketing Association’s Conference and Exposition.
And thank you, Craig. You have set the pace — and high standards — for all of us.
For those of you who don’t know Craig, he’s an outstanding leader, a dedicated professional and a true team player. He’s driven to succeed, but he also has a great sense of humor and a positive, easygoing personality that brings out the very best in everyone around him. To say it’s been a pleasure to work with Craig – as co-chairs of the NEDMA ‘06 conference – would be an understatement. It’s been a blast!
