Combined with an affinity for developing cutting-edge technology with superior usability, this unique hybrid of talent has helped her offer clients marketing, business and technical solutions for more than 17 years.

Throughout her career, Kathleen's professional offerings have expanded to embrace the latest advancements in print, digital and interactive media, and to respond to shifts in the marketplace.

About The Business Marketing Association of the Hudson Valley
With 85+ years of excellence, The International Business Marketing Association was started in 1922. Offering education, training, and professional development, the BMA provides access to the data, people, and programs required for career enhancement and business growth for B2B and B2C marketers.

The Hudson Valley Chapter of the BMA is the doorway to both the BMA's international programs and to a wealth of programs and networking possibilities right here in the region. While B2B marketing has traditionally been the exclusive focus of the BMA, the Hudson Valley Business Marketing Association (BMA-HV) has expanded its parameters to appeal to marketing professionals in the B2C community as well.

Our region has experienced a major transition in the last several years. In a short time we went from being a farming and vacation community to one of the best places to do business in the entire country. In fact, in 2006 our region was 19th on the Forbes '200 best places to do business' list, and we expect it to ascend even higher in the years to come. Here at BMA-HV we feel we have a great opportunity (and responsibility) to work together to ensure that everyone in the business community profits from the good fortune that has made our region such a great place to live and work. The BMA-HV was formed to take advantage of this dramatic growth opportunity.
