With
all the news outlets depicting how our economy
is at a downturn, the cutting political debates
that haven't let up for the past 18 months,
and the diminishing jobs in our city, it's hard
to get any rest from these discouraging headlines.

How long have you been on the Board of AMA as the
VP of Member Relations? Why did you choose to volunteer

I have made so many great friends through this organization
and signed several quality clients as well.

If you are out of sight - you are out of mind. It's
that simple.

Las Vegas has a terrific community of quality business
professionals especially in the marketing/advertising
