Sallie Mars, SVP, Chief Diversity Officer at McCann Worldgroup, provided a warm welcome, encouraging industry colleagues to give the gift of mentorship all year long. As a BIC Board Member, Sallie has been instrumental in shaping both the BIC program and planning for student success post graduation.
BIC Program Director Nancy Tag was in great spirits as she thanked colleagues for supporting the students – and the future of the industry. She noted that BIC students were already making an impact by winning prestigious awards, earning spots in industry competitions, and garnering scholarships.
