It was great seeing so many of you at the recent member meeting in New York on September 26. I hope you all made some excellent connections and left with some new ideas to put into practice.

For those who were not able to join us, a meeting summary is available in the Member Library on our member home page.

Our next CouncilTel is scheduled for October 27 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. The topic for this call is best practices for bridging the IT/marketing gap. This is a perennial issue for marketers, and I'm looking forward to an active discussion. I am currently interviewing members to glean some best practices and key traits to share with the group to kick off the discussion. If you have some experiences (good or bad) that you would like to share with me ahead of the call, please contact me.

As always, if you have any questions, need assistance with a project, or would just like to bounce an idea off another Council member, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am here to help!

Best regards,



Justin Bruton
Council Manager
