Kelly gets roasted for a good cause!

The National Press Club hosted a dais of amateur roasters, who poked fun at and toasted Past-Chair of the DMA board Kelly Browning, to benefit the DMA Nonprofit Federation’s Conference Scholarship program.

Kelly, being a good sport, allowed the illustrious panel which included our very own Rich Leary to make fun of him and his long history and involvement in the direct mail industry. The packed room was filled with laughter and water was even seen coming out of a client’s nose as some obvious and some inside jokes were shared.

The response to the roasters by Kelly was hysterical and will not be forgotten anytime soon. The evening was wonderfully entertaining and brought in over $4,000 for the DMA Nonprofit Federation’s Conference Scholarship fund.

Hear Ye!! Hear Ye!!

All rise, for the new President of the United States! Who would have thunk it? Direct Marketing professional works his way up to become the new Commander-in-Chief. Check out that photo above. Perhaps this new face on the DC scene can help solve the economic crisis facing our country.

This pic and many other more interesting ones were taken at Madam Tussaud’s museum in Washington during the networking reception at the recent Nonprofit Conference. Take a moment to see if you could tell who is actually made of wax.

Hats off to the Nonprofit Federation

Last week the DMA Nonprofit Federation produced one of the best events I've attended. Well organized and full of excellent sessions, the conference hit on all cylinders. Even the Networking Reception was great. Held at the Canadian Embassy, attendees were welcomed by the sponsoring hosts and the Director of the Embassy. The short but very engaging and warm greeting by the Primiere of Manitoba, Canada was truly a nice touch. I know I felt very appreciated.

Keep this as a template for the future. It's going to be a tough act to follow.

Max L. Hart award recipient, Kelly Browning

In an earlier blog entry, Rich Leary from RMI very eloquently outlined the accomplishments of Kelly Browning of the American Institute for Cancer Research, and the reasons why he is such a deserving recipient of the Max L. Hart Achievement Award.

As not only a long time client of RMI's, but as a friend, I know first hand how important the nonprofit community is to Kelly. If you know nothing more about him know this; if you are a nonprofit mailer and are in need of advise he will always be available to give you wise council. He is not sparing of his time. In his view, the nonprofit sector is only helped by the strengthening of its entire parts. To me it's this quality that makes him such a valuable member of not only the nonprofit market place but for the entire Direct Marketing industry as a whole.

Congratulations not only to Kelly and AICR but to the DMA Nonprofit Federation for such a good choice.
