As a member and volunteer for the American Institute for Graphic Arts I have been fortunate to be invited to contribute design work for events. During 2007 I also developed a panel discussion on branding for the Boston Chapter event season, including the event promotion — design, write and produce a (nationally recognized, award winning) direct mail event poster and e-mail marketing. The event poster won a Best of Show at the 2009 Best of New England (BoNE) AIGA Awards and best of New England in the PRINT Magazine Regional Design Annual 2008.
