Dana Singer, Executive Director

Week of September 17, 2012
Greetings!
After thirteen years with SNAG, Jean Savarese, our advertising sales director, will be leaving SNAG at the end of October. And we are now bringing this position in-house as a staff position. It has truly been a joy working with Jean and we wish her well in her new endeavors.
Given the current economy, I'm interviewing a number of very strong candidates over the next couple of weeks and will announce the new person soon. The advertising sales director handles all of our ad sales including Metalsmith print and digital, on our website, in SNAG News and Riveting News, and other avenues.
In the meantime, if you are interested in advertising in the next issue of Metalsmith and our digital media, please just contact our interim ad sales person, Megan Lynch.
