ISBT Welcomes Casey Conway as Account Executive
Beginning September 1 Casey Conway is the ISBT senior account executive. Casey served ISBT several years ago and returns ready to assist ISBT members.
Casey’s message to the membership:
I’m happy to be joining you all again after seven years away! I worked with ISBT from 2009-2015, so we may have met at BevTech during that time.
I’ve spent the last several years working in internal communications and training and development at one of the Nation’s premier academic medical centers. I’m excited to put my new skills to use to help ISBT grow. Having worked with several associations over the years, I know that some of ISBT’s biggest advantages are a strong network of engaged individuals and an outstanding commitment to education.
For those of you I haven’t met, please don’t hesitate to reach out — whether that’s just for a more direct introduction, or to solve a problem. I’m happy to help. If you’re planning to attend PACK EXPO in October, be sure to swing by the ISBT booth and say hello!
ISBT wishes to thank Don Dinnerville for his service to the Society. We all wish him the best as he pursues full-time self-employment as a website developer. We won’t say goodbye to him completely, as he will continue to manage ISBT’s website.
