ADCOLOR® FUTURES, in partnership with the ADCOLOR® Diversity Summit (ADS) members and selected community organizations, is hosting two or more alumnus from each member organization to participate in the 2012 ADCOLOR® Awards and Industry Conference and related events.-and the final group has officially been chosen. The ADS member organizations already go above and beyond the call of duty to identify talented undergraduate and graduate students to participate in their remarkable programs - we take their efforts a step further by providing those students access to the ADCOLOR® professional network, training and mentors.
ADCOLOR® FUTURES is the perfect opportunity to "Rise Up and Reach Back®" - a key part of the ADCOLOR® mission statement. Collectively, board members, alumni, honorees and general attendees can support ADCOLOR® FUTURES by donating to The ADCOLOR® FUTURES Sponsorship Fund.*
"We are pleased to help support ADCOLOR® FUTURES through the AD Club of New York's new diversity initiative, i'mPART, and look forward to working together to provide best-in-class professional development training for multicultural rising stars in advertising. ADCOLOR® FUTURES and i'mPART are united through a shared mission to promote the benefits of diversity to businesses and to ultimately make this important issue a greater priority in our industry," said Gina Grillo, President and CEO, The Advertising Club of New York.
*The 2012 ADCOLOR® FUTURES program is sponsored by The ADVERTISING Club of New York, BBDO, Google, The Home Depot, Microsoft Advertising and Saatchi & Saatchi. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.
For more information about all ADCOLOR®'s programs, and to register for the 2012 Industry Conference and Award Show taking place from October 18-20 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, please visit: http://adcolor.org/
