About
Frank Fortin
Why “Guilt” by Association? Not literally guilty.
But because I’m “guilty” of being associated with associations, and proud of it. Love ‘em, hate ‘em, or both, doesn’t matter — we got ‘em. And we make a big difference in the world.
I’m Communications Director of the Massachusetts Medical Society in Waltham, Mass. I also spent 15 years in journalism, editing newscasts for local TV news stations, and editing a regional business newspaper until I was invited to become a partner in the Providence PR and marketing firm RDW Group. I a
m also an incorrigible Red Sox and Celtics fan, and remain devoted to Bruce Springsteen’s music since my first introduction to him at a concert in a 4000 seat gym in Providence, a trillion years ago.
I am also passionately devoted to education. My father was a teacher. So was an uncle, an aunt … etc. I have been a board member of the Needham Education Foundation since 2003 and started a two-year term as co-president in June 2008.
One other thing: The opinions here are solely my own.

Frank, This is neat. We need to have lunch soon and I’d like to hear more and share some thoughts I’ve got about the electronic future of news. tw

Hi Frank,
I read a couple of your blog posts that mention business growth and sales through answering RFPs, and thought I’d pass along news about a new, free eBook—Landing Big Sales with an RFP—http://www.huntbigsales.com/ebooks.php.
I work with the book’s writer, Tom Searcy, who has been coaching businesses on how to conquer RFPs for years. He chose to release this book now because—and I know you know this already—as budgets tighten and companies become more anxious to show an increase in ROI, RFPs are becoming a necessary evil.
If you’re interested, please feel free to take a look and pass it along to your readers.
All the best,
Genna
