CMOR Hires New Director and Relaunches Web Site

The US Council for Marketing and Opinion Research (CMOR) has hired lawyer Donna Gillin, previously the organisation's Director of Government Affairs, as its Director of Operations. The organisation, which works to promote the integrity of the MR industry, has also introduced a tagline - 'Shielding the Profession' - and relaunched its web site.

Gillin has worked with CMOR in several capacities, including Legislative Assistant, Research Counsel, and most recently Director of Government Affairs from 1994 to 2004. In her previous role, she monitored and advocated legislation that affected the survey research industry, worked with government agencies to promote the integrity of research, and advised industry members on privacy policies and data management. She also worked with the Global Legislative Initiative (GLI), helped to form the North American Survey Research Alliance (NASRA), and conducted CMOR Privacy Law Seminars for the survey research industry. CMOR describes her as 'the parent of privacy and government affairs for the marketing and opinion research profession'.

She has also worked for the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO) and New York State Legislature. She is a graduate of the State University of New York at Albany and is a member of the New York and New Jersey Bars.

CMOR has also launched a newly designed web site that includes an interactive State Resource Map to allow MR professionals to read about legislative issues and initiatives on a state-by-state basis. The organisation has announced its new mission as 'Shielding the Profession' - and will use this tagline in an upcoming advertising campaign.

CMOR is a non-profit organisation comprised of more than 150 organisations and members, including industry trade associations, research providers, end users, client companies, academic institutions and individuals. The new-look web site is at www.cmor.org.
