PIRATES May Meeting Notice: Branding

A strong brand adds value to the consumers lives. It builds its credibility by delivering a consistent promise over time. In doing so, it owns a set of distinctive impressions and meaningful associations. For a brand to endure for generations, it must stand for something bigger than just a benefit. What is your brand? Do you have a brand?

It is with great sadness that we must share with you the passing of our dear friend and colleague Yvonne Voisin.  After hospitalization and convalescence for congestive heart failure, Yvonne succumbed to cardiac arrest on Sunday, March 17.  It may surprise many of you to know this April 29, she would have turned 83.

For over a quarter of a century, Yvonne Voisin of Voisin Communications has been an integral part of the Print Interactive Radio and Television Educational Society (PIRATES) family.  Serving as president 1994-1996, Yvonne saved the organization from bankruptcy and readdressed all the resource issues keeping the organization fluid and out front.  She received the highest accolade from PIRATES, "The Golden Buccaneer Award" in 2000 for outstanding service not just to PIRATES but through Voisin Communications to the public service community in Los Angeles.  She has been at the center of preparation for every program and every event and now, for the first time in over a quarter of a century, booking your reservation at a PIRATES event will be with someone else.  Her participation, her commitment and her high standard of excellence will forever be a part of the PIRATES heritage.

Per her wishes, Yvonne was cremated and her ashes will eventually be returned to England.
