WASHINGTON DC / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2014 / The Electronic Retailing Association (ERA) will honor Edward Glynn with its Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of his leadership role as Chairman of the Government Affairs Committee and in helping to create the Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP).
The respected direct response industry veteran will receive the award at the 2014 Moxie Awards Gala, the star-studded event honoring the best of the year’s direct response marketing campaigns held on the closing evening of ERA’s annual D2C Convention taking place September 16-18 at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
