Executive Blog

The most common question I usually get in heading up NABS is – ‘I guess you’re a lot busier these days?’ The short answer is yes – 2009 was our busiest ever in terms of helping industry friends and their families – through our confidential counselling and short-term financial assistance programs.

Post Event Recap
The 26th Annual NABS Fundraising Gala

On Tuesday May 11th at the Kool Haus in Toronto, 450 of the communications industry's most influential senior executives gathered to experience the "Mad Ad World" of advertising at the 26th Annual Fundraising Gala. Guests enjoyed 1960s themed canapés and a three course menu prepared by Eatertainment special events and catering, bid on fabulous auction items, and then kicked back for a laugh at the wild and crazy world of advertising. Improv "players," made up of sponsor representatives and members of the audience, braved the stage alongside professionals from the Bad Dog Theatre Company. Together they performed comedy sketches set in the advertising world, exposing all its quarks and idiosyncrasies.

NABS would like to thank everyone who made this annual event a success.

Making a Difference

When he applied to NABS, he was a 34-year-old married marketing manager with a young son. He had been unemployed for almost three years. His wife’s salary wasn’t enough to cover all the family’s expenses and they had used up all their savings and RRSPs. NABS arranged financial assistance to help the family with essential needs. Personal, financial and career counseling enabled them to lower expenses and helped him find employment within three months.
