Jeans for Beans
As part of DAI's continued support of The Campagna Center, we have launched a program called Jeans for Beans, in which employees can contribute directly to the center by purchasing coupons to wear jeans to work! DAI employees can purchase $5 coupons to wear jeans to work during what are normally business dress days. Proceeds go directly to The Campagna Center.
DAI's Senior Graphic Designer, Chris Hargrove, designed the program's mascot, Alexander Bean (see above), who will be featured in numerous pieces of collateral material. |

Dr. Sherilyne Dougherty |
Welcome to the May edition! This month we're very pleased to announce that DAI has won a contract to support the Department of Veterans Affairs with conference and event planning. It's a great opportunity for DAI to expand our conference and event management services to a wider audience. We've also just returned from a successful TOC conference in Hershey, PA, where our team played a very active role in the entire event. This edition also includes updates on our Campagna Center partnership, our Komen Race for the Cure team and our office expansion. As always, thank you for supporting the DAI Advisor, and remember, past editions can always be accessed on our archive page. |

in early May at the Hershey Lodge, in Hershey, PA. DAI was a big
presence at the event, serving as sponsor, event chair and
vendor. The three-day conference provided skill-building workshops, seminars and sessions for registrants, as well as an exhibition floor for vendors to share their products and services.
DAI's Business Development Manager, Nicole Alley, chaired the events committee and, along with Business Development and Marketing Coordinator, Kate Seibert, organized both the Hershey Whodunit and the Hershey Hunt--entertaining after-dinner social events.
DAI also oversaw the new member outreach and new attendee orientation, and the mentor/protégé program in which new attendees were paired with "veteran" attendees as mentors. More info about TOC can be found on their website here.
