The wonderful Adrienne Dayton is celebrating 30 years with Education Market Association (EDmarket), formerly National School Supply & Equipment Association (NSSEA). Adrienne is Vice President, Communications & Education for EDmarket. I will only echo what many, many people would say—she is not only super competent, but also seriously one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet or work with. I am so glad to also call her a friend.
Happy anniversary, Adrienne!
Now off to another holiday weekend with lots of fun in store—and next week, I will be keeping those grandkids all week. I see a lot of fun in my future, to be sure! Go have yourself some holiday fun, and I will see you back here next Friday.
Till then….Vicki, the Snoop
