Members will help shape future direction of industry
TREVOSE, PA – January 7, 2010 – Advertising Specialty Institute® has named the members voted onto its four new advisory boards.
Hundreds of ASI member companies voted during the online balloting period to help choose leaders of the boards. Here are the members of the new boards:
The ASI Advisory Board
Marketing, Public Relations & Industry Research Advisory Board
The Safety & Legislative Advisory Board
Technology & Operations Advisory Board
The boards will meet regularly to discuss and debate important issues affecting the marketplace and participating leaders will recommend and take action to drive the industry forward. The new boards join ASI’s existing advisory boards for ASI Show, ASI Education and ASI’s six magazines. All boards meet in-person at least once each year and via quarterly conference calls.
“We applaud every one of the new board members for devoting their time and energy to tackling issues important to our industry,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “We heartily encourage all of our members to share their thoughts and ideas with ASI, and especially with these new board members, as we move forward into a new year and confront and conquer fresh challenges.”
Membership on ASI boards is open to industry distributors, suppliers, decorators, multi-line reps and educators. Any ASI member company can nominate an employee for consideration by the nominating committee. A vote open to all ASI members was conducted online as part of the process to select board members. The 2011 elections will begin after the ASI Show New York, taking place Tuesday, May 4 – Thursday, May 6.
