MEMBER BENEFITS SPOTLIGHT

CTAM Goes On Demand!
In 2009, CTAM launches its own brand of “On Demand” with the new self-publishing CTAM Membership Directory. The directory will always be available for online viewing 24/7 with the most up-to-date membership information. But as an added bonus, as a CTAM Member, you will also have the option of printing out a hard copy of the directory “on demand” – anytime and anywhere – and carrying it with you wherever you go. Be on the lookout for upcoming requests to update your member information.

MEET THE PRESIDENT
 Rebecca Black
Meet Rebecca Black, Account Executive, National Accounts, Disney & ESPN Media Networks and President,
CTAM Caribbean. Here are five fun facts about Rebecca to help you get to know her better:
 
Nickname:
Growing up I was Becky, but many folks in the office call me Reba, which has stuck for eight years after being coined by my former Disney colleague, Andy Biggers.

Favorite TV Show:
I am in heaven now that my all-time favorite show, “Lost,” is back from hiatus! Also, I’ve been a dedicated fan of “One Life to Live” since it hooked me 17 years ago. On the cable side, I am a reality junkie. I love “Top Chef,” “Project Runway” and “No Reservations.”

Favorite vacation spot:
I’ve enjoyed all of the beaches from my business travels and CTAM Caribbean events; but my heart remains in Mexico at the Royal Sands Resort in Cancun. My favorite city vacation was in Paris, France.

Hidden talent:
Everyone in my office tells me I bake great cookies.  I just need to do it more often!

Decade or era that best suits your personality:
I’d love to go back to visit the 1950s for a week or two and see Elvis Presley in person, at his prime. But I am so accustomed to cell phones, DVRs and computers that I don’t think I could function without them!
