As with so many people in our industry, my relationship with the AdClub began at some of their world-class educational events. I was honoured to be chosen as The Toronto Star’s delegate to AdClub’s Newspaper Day Committee in 2005 and my love affair with this influential industry organization began from there. I’ve been thrilled to move from Newspaper Day member, to the Venue Chair of OOH Day, to AdClub’s Director of Giving, AdClub’s Vice-President, and now its President; I look forward to many more years working with a group of people dedicated to mentoring the next generation of advertising and marketing industry professionals through the AdClub’s scholarship program, giving voice to previously taboo topics in the Mindful Mornings series, furthering media conversations at educational industry events like Digital Day, and connecting networks on the fairway, ski hill, and volleyball court on Golf Day, Ski Day, and during our upcoming Sports Day series.
In a world that’s currently disconnected by scientific need, I feel the AdClub is the glue to re-connect us.
