When people ask me what the Alliance is all about, it’s surprisingly difficult to describe. As the old saying goes, “you just know it, when you see it.” What I do know is that I believe in and appreciate what the Alliance has offered our members for the past 20+ years – an opportunity to bring leaders together so that they can exchange strategic insights, tap into the collective wisdom of our community, discover new opportunities, create innovative solutions and connect with others. They refine their leadership skills, expand their executive network, challenge and support one another, and become best in class leaders. As Director of Alliance Communications, my main responsibility is to help facilitate and communicate Alliance services, programs and technologies to our members. Examples include: our Alliance Website, LinkedIn pages, our Summer Internship Program, and our Executive and Job Search Network. I write and distribute Alliance Member News articles, and coordinate our quarterly Alliance newsletter. As a self-taught Salesforce administrator, I’ve built a seamless event management system and survey tool directly into our Salesforce database. I act as a liaison between multiple Alliance departments – Communications, Member Services, New Business Development, and Operations, to ensure new Alliance programs and technologies are communicated and implemented company-wide and throughout our entire membership community.

What I enjoyed most about my experience working for Yoga Journal magazine (Active Interest Media), was the positive and proactive comradery between the departments I worked with. I acted as a liaison between accounting, finance, production and sales to ensure best practices & procedures: supporting accuracy and timeliness of all contractual obligations. My main responsibilities included: maintaining accurate records for all Yoga Journal advertising accounts, publishing contracts, insertion orders, change orders, credit applications, and sponsorships within two ad management databases. I booked advertising space and performed audits to reconcile pages and revenue at issue close. I prepared billing and other detailed and timely reports to the sales, production & finance departments.

As the world's first service bureau dedicated to PDF technology, Document Solutions innovated in a wide variety of areas including: value-added imaging and conversion, publication-grade CD and DVD-ROM development, PDF accessibility, and interactive forms. The company served a global client base ranging from start-ups to General Electric, the United Nations, U.S. Federal Government agencies and leading periodical publishers such as Hanley-Wood, Taunton Press, Allen Press and Scientific American. In 2008, they merged with Appligent, Inc. to form Appligent Document Solutions. I enjoyed learning about the importance, relevancy and wide range of uses for the PDF file format. My responsibilities included handling all in-bound sales matters directed from email, in-person, and phone inquiries. I created bid proposals, scheduled follow up conversations with clients, and set in-person meetings to address the needs of our clients. As the second of only two members of the sales department, I worked with clients from project approval to project completion.

At TMP Worldwide, owner of Monster.com, I worked closely with 50 clients to strategically plan, manage and carry out their recruitment advertising goals. I sold TMP strategic products to clients ranging from healthcare and banking to Internet start-ups and city/county governments, and acted as an extension of their Human Resources Departments (with annual budgets ranging from $50,000 to $750,000) to write classified print and online advertisements, design banner advertisements, and coordinate on-site open houses and career fairs.

From 1997-2000, my role as Assistant Operations Manager included designing and coordinating print and online advertisements during a period of growth from $350,000 to $3.1 million in one year. I co-managed InfoWorld's INFOJOBS career website, and implemented an online Quark page layout system, three Lotus Notes databases, and a departmental procedures manual, used weekly by various departments. I trained staff to use such databases and procedures. Between 2000-2001, my role at InfoWorld & ITCareers shifted to become a freelance project manager editing and producing weekly advertising supplements in InfoWorld, Network World and Computerworld magazines. I worked remotely to produce supplements that focused on careers and career-related topics: computer networking, Information Technology, diversity in Information Technology, and E-business/E-commerce. I coordinated interview schedules with a dedicated freelance writer; determined the "look and feel" of each week's editions with a dedicated freelance graphic artist; and edited supplements for content, grammar and accuracy.
