Recently, we've had the good fortune to welcome some new faces to the UniForum fold. Barbara Myers has joined us in the new position of membership/sponsorship manager. Barbara brings almost 20 years of experience in membership and seminar marketing, having been research and marketing director for the California Society of Certified Public Accountants and database/marketing manager with the American Electronics Association (AEA). Barbara is enthusiastic about her new role and the challenges facing her. She says that she would like to increase the awareness of UniForum and its programs to the outside world, while at the same time learning more about our members' needs to improve member benefits.
Our publishing group is happy to have Deborah Martell as its new art director. Deborah has been in the graphic arts her entire professional career. She has worked in academia, government and business, having been art director for the United States International University and having worked as a contributor with NATO and Hewlett-Packard, as well as a variety of other endeavors in publishing. Deborah has been running her own graphic design business for some time, which is how she came to the attention of UniForum, working with us as a freelance artist. Deborah has stepped into the full-time duties of art director for the summer, while Cheri DeBusk is on maternity leave (talk about additions to the UniForum family!). When Cheri returns in September, she and Deborah will share the job of art director, allowing us to benefit from their collective talent and creativity.
Welcome aboard, Barbara and Deborah!
