CARD Update

Public Relations & Events Manager Daphne Plump and I have spent the past week drafting a new press kit for CARD’s Founder and Executive Director Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh.

I organized the photoshoot, and Daphne and Chief Technology Officer / Multimedia Director Rob Pontello, managed it to a successful conclusion. The photos look great, Dr. Doreen is very pleased and we are all excited to send out Dr. Doreen’s Press Kit as a comprehensive media pitch to national and international Television, Radio, Newspaper and Online media.

I particularly enjoyed hiring headshot photographer Peter Michelena. With 10 years experience, he was a consummate professional and immediately showed us all the images he was taking.

We are planning a proactive media campaign to position Dr. Doreen as a leading spokesperson on autism and related disorders, as well as other psychological illnesses and conditions among all media audiences. We want her to be THE person to contact when a behavior expert is needed to comment on news items of interest.

Dr. Doreen will be vacationing in New Zealand and Australia, next week. I’m currently pitching the world renowned autism expert for TV, newspaper and radio shows in New Zealand and Australia between December 16th and December 22nd. We’ll keep you posted!
