Congratulations are in order

I have to say that it's about time someone has officially recognized Scott Chilcutt, President of Marketing Information Network (mIn). On 6/9 the List and Database Council will present him with the inaugural Industry Innovation Award for his many achievements and contributions. Scott is a long time friend and vendor of RMI's who has been very resourceful, reliable and, indeed, innovative throughout the years.

Other honoraries include Tim Hickman of American List Counsel Inc. as the recipient of the 2008 Ron Davis Young List Professional of the Year Award, and Linda Huntoon of Direct Media Inc. as List Leader of the Year.

Congratulations to all!

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.

Kelly Browning gets his due

Today at the Non-Profit Conference in DC, Kelly B. Browning, Executive VP and COO of American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), will be awarded the prestigious Max L. Hart Achievement Award by the DMA's Nonprofit Federation. This award is named for Max Hart, who as a longtime Director of Fundraising for Disabled American Veterans, was a steadfast advocate, supporter and champion of professionalism for the nonprofit fundraising community. This award recognizes an individual who:

--serves as a source of inspiration and encouragement to others by exemplifying the highest levels of excellence in his/her work, and is a respected authority in his/her area of expertise;
--is innovative and possesses strong leadership skills;
--exhibits a willingness to assist in the professional development of others through the sharing of knowledge;
--is a model of integrity in professional dealings; and
--has an outstanding record of achievement.

Kelly is all that and more. Being RMI's first client ever, he has been a stalwart supporter and a wealth of information for over 20 years. His accolades are numerous. In addition to being in charge of AICR's entire US Operation and a member of the World Cancer Research Fund global network, Kelly is Vice Chairman of the Direct Marketing Association's Board of Directors. He also serves as a member of the Executive Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Finance Committee, the DMEI Committee, the Do Not Mail Task Force, and the Consumer Segments Task Force. He chairs the DMA Board Standing Committee on Government Affairs and is Chair of the DMA Political Action Committee (direct•voice) Advisory Board. Kelly is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Association for Postal Commerce and a member of the Board of Directors of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health Foundation.

I'll never again complain that I'm too busy. On behalf of RMI, we applaud his accomplishments and the Nonprofit Federation for rewarding a truly inspirational direct marketing professional. Kelly is a credit to the industry.

Congratulations!
