Potential Unlimited Publishing

• Executive Director

  • Jul 1993 - Aug 2000

  Over a seven year period following my son's autism diagnosis, I founded Seacoast NH's first autism support group (Autism Support and Advocacy Project--ASAP) and, from that, two publishing companies. The decision to publish books on autism was two-fold: To fill voids in the literature and to empower parent volunteers with a positive task through which they could make a difference for their children. Our focus was writing and publishing easy-to-understand guides for parents and children. Potential Unlimited Publishing was a non-profit organization. My responsibilities as Founder/Executive Director included: Reporting to a 12 member Board of Directors, developing business plans and annual budgets; overseeing fundraising activities; managing part-time and volunteer staff; reviewing manuscripts; managing book design, copy editing, printing and distribution; negotiating with vendors; developing promotional materials, marketing strategies and company website; conducting autism workshops.
