July 7, 2020

ITASCA, Illinois — The American Supply Association (ASA) recently hired Merrill Drew 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, the ASA Education Foundation, and all other entities within ASA, while also directing all communications and public relations activities.

Prior to joining ASA, Drew was membership outreach manager at the International Society for Stem Cell Research in Skokie, Illinois, and also was director of membership and customer service at the American College of Occupational & Environmental Medicine in suburban Chicago, and section/council membership data specialist at the American Academy of Pediatrics.
