The Society of Gynecological Oncology and Foundation for Women’s Cancer (SGO/FWC) is pleased to announce the promotion of Ellen J. Sullivan, MS, MSJ, to the new position of chief operating officer. Sullivan came to SGO/FWC in 2012 and most recently served as chief communications and membership officer. She has been the lead staff liaison to the Communications, Publications and Membership Committees as well as the Diversity & Inclusion Task Force and the COVID-19 Task Force. In her new role, Sullivan will focus internally on key staffing, process and infrastructure improvements and issues.
SGO Marketing Manager Lindsey Powell, MNM, is now the director of marketing, communications and membership. Lindsey joined the staff in July 2018 as marketing/communications coordinator for the FWC. She is a veteran of the Peace Corps–Indonesia and holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing and master’s degree in nonprofit management. Powell has overseen the redesign of the new SGO website, which launched in June, and has managed work groups of the Communications Committee and Diversity & Inclusion Task Force. She will be the lead staff liaison for those committees as well as the Membership Committee.
The American Supply Association, whose members do business in the plumbing, heating, cooling, pipe and industrial pipe, valve and fittings industry (PHCP-PVF), recently hired association veteran Merrill Drew, CAE, as its new director of marketing and communications.
In her role, Drew is responsible for developing and managing the brand strategies and implementing integrated marketing and communications plans for all programs and services that increase the awareness and image of ASA.
“Merrill’s impact here at ASA has been immediate and highly meaningful,” said Mike Miazga, ASA’s vice president of sales and membership. “Merrill has hit the ground running and already has taken the association’s marketing and communications platforms to another level that will greatly benefit ASA’s strong membership base.”
