Hunter to continue staunch support of the DMEF as the "go-to source" for direct/interactive marketing education at college and university level
WAYNE, Pa. – September 27, 2010 – Full-service direct response advertising agency DMW Direct announced that its Chairman, Warren Hunter, has been elected to the Direct Marketing Educational Foundation (DMEF) Board of Trustees.
DMEF’s Board of Trustees, which operates independently of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), is made up of more than 40 corporate and academic professionals. The Trustees are responsible for creating and implementing programs that position DMEF as the go-to source for direct/interactive marketing education at the college and university level. Its mission is to attract, educate, and place top college students in the business of direct/interactive marketing.
"It is an honor to collaborate with the other dedicated direct marketing experts on the DMEF Board of Trustees," said Hunter. "Giving back to the direct marketing community, which has given so much to me and to our agency, is a personal priority. I’m pleased to have this opportunity to help the DMEF continue to make a difference."
With a distinguished career spanning nearly 40 years, Hunter has worked successfully on both the client and agency sides of the direct marketing industry. He was named the Philadelphia Direct Marketing Association’s Direct Marketer of the Year in 2006 and the DMA’s Financial Services Council’s Marketer of the Year in 2008. He has also served on the Board of the Professional Insurance Marketing Association (PIMA).
For the last decade, Hunter has been an avid personal and corporate supporter of the DMEF and, in recent years, has volunteered his time to help organize the DMEF dinner held at the DMA’s Annual Conference. He joins the DMEF Board following nine years on DMA’s ECHO Board of Governors.
