Wise words. First impressions. Integration. First, let’s get this important thing out of the way — I am proud to be a part of the DMAW community and honored to serve as its president. The DMAW is your community — it grows and flourishes through your involvement. You are the architect of this community, and essential to how we evolve. If you ever thought of getting more in- volved in the DMAW, now is the time to do so. This year—2015—is our 60th anniver- sary. It will be a great year to make a new friend, learn something new, integrate... all the cool kids are doing it...because they know being direct works. As we all determine which new strategy, channel, or tool is either a flash in the pan or our new bread and butter, we know to- gether we can learn, prosper, and do good work together. Want to come along? LL&P, Jamie P.S. If you don’t know how to get involved, contact Donna, me, or any of our board members. It will be painless and possibly fun. P.P.S. If you don’t participate, you can’t complain... as much. P.P.P.S. If you do not know what LL&P stands for, feel free to drop me a line. Six for the Sixtieth This is DMAW's 60th anniversary and we're looking for talent! Are you a photographer? Are you a writer? Will you lend a hand to a committee? Can you volunteer at the Bridge? How about recruiting a new member? Are you willing to tweet and retweet @theDMAW? To share your talents, email me or any Board member on the list to the left. GET INVOLVED. We want YOU!
