February 27 AWNY’s 2008 Roast honoring Renetta McCann

AWNY’s 2008 Roast honoring Renetta McCann, CEO, Starcom MediaVest Group was held on February 27 at Gotham Hall. The Roasters/Toasters included Laura Desmond, CEO, Starcom MediaVest Group, The Americas, Jon Mandel, CEO, NielsenConnect; Jack Klues, Chairman, Starcom MediaVest Group; Jack Griffin, President, Meredith Publishing Group and David Verklin, CEO Aegis Media Americas. The event was very generously sponsored by Google. Tim Armstrong, VP National Sales spoke on the Company’s behalf which included a tribute to Renetta as well. Mary Morgan, VP/Publisher, Redbook and AWNY’s 1st VP acted as the evening’s emcee.

All the Roasters agreed that it was difficult to “Roast” such a Grand Lady. However, they all managed to give their toasts a humorous flavor, combined with competitive digs and some very funny personal anecdotes.

The evening ended with rave reviews from all attendees.
