October 2011 | Edition 5
Greetings!
Suddenly, it's fall in D.C. My favorite time of year. The perfect time to roll down those sleeves and roll out some new, creative and thought-provoking campaigns. Time to brush up on media skills, refresh website content, release a paper, host an event, and take some time to test the strength of your brand. We'll be doing all that and more this fall, for some exceptional organizations, and we're looking forward to telling you more about it here, in our next issue.
For now, enjoy a quick read of some news from this end, and thanks, as always.
Carrie Fox
President
