ADM Elects Leaders
By: admin
The Association for Downloadable Media (ADM) has elected a slate of officers, committee chairs and advisory board members. The election, which had originally been planned for October, was completed late last month. Libsyn’s Chris MacDonald chairs the ADM board, while Susan Bratton of Personal Life Media, was named vice chair. Matthew Snodgrass of the Porter Novelli PR firm is the ADM’s new secretary, and Podcast.com’s Duncan Perry was elected treasurer. .
A look down the list of other committee chairs and office-holders reveals an interesting mix of podcast production entrepreneurs, service and advertising company representatives, and folks from Microsoft, Nokia, and NPR.

As Bratton told me some time ago, the ADM’s focus is exclusively on the money-making aspects of podcasting, and specifically on developing standards and metrics for podcast advertising. We’ll be watching to see how ADM makes that happen.
I’ll be chatting with ADM bigwigs this week, and we’ll be following the group here, and in the pages of B&P. You can keep up directly by reading the ADM blog.
