Chocolate Inn/Lanco regional sales manager Chris Barlow has been elected a trustee of the Specialty Advertising Association of Greater New York Foundation (SAAGNY) board. In this role, he will aid the foundation’s mission to connect with and support the local tri-state communities through charitable activities.
“I am very honored to be elected to the SAAGNY Foundation board,” Barlow said. “Day-to-day, I’m lucky to work with great distributors and suppliers in New York and New Jersey. In this new additional role, I will have the added opportunity to give back to the communities they serve through awesome SAAGNY Foundation events.”
Many of the foundation’s efforts focus on fundraising to support children’s causes, including a sleepaway camp for children with cancer and a volunteering event at a school for children with variety of learning, social and emotional difficulties. The SAAGNY Foundation also grants college scholarships to members of the SAAGNY community.
“It’s important to Chocolate Inn/Lanco to support our customers both in business and in their everyday lives,” said David Miller, president of Chocolate Inn/Lanco. “We congratulate Chris on being chosen for this important SAAGNY Foundation position, which will help better the lives of New York area customers and community members.”
Barlow will start his trustee position Jan. 1, 2020 and will hold the position for the next three years.
