In her tenure at the Messersmith Group, she managed the communications department for 15 local and statewide associations.
In addition to her extensive experience within the association management profession, Catherine has also held advertising executive positions for several large publishers including the Business Journal and Capital City ABC. She was recruited as a publisher for an international association publishing company where she worked with management to develop detailed systems for associations to effectively market publications to their industry partners. During her six-year tenure, she realized that association executives were looking for more than a “cookie-cutter” publisher. They needed flexibility, and desired customizable control. From that realization, AOS was born!
