The Retail Marketing Institute fondly remembers our
friend and colleague, Founder Douglas E. Raymond.
Mr. Raymond founded the Retail Marketing Institute in 2002. It is
an organization dedicated to executive level education and exchange,
with a mission to affect positive change in the retail industry.
Mr. Raymond was recognized as a leading authority on marketing, brand
strategy and advertising, trade association management,
and conference
concept development. A |
graduate of Marquette University, Mr. Raymond was
an accomplished public speaker and often quoted in the
trade and business press, and authored numerous articles
on branding, communications, conference
concept development, and creativity.
“
Doug was a visionary, who had a passion for this industry.
He poured his heart and soul into every aspect of his work dedicating
himself to making a difference. He was a person of integrity, drive, and
an inspiration to so many of us that had the privilege to know and work
with him.” Stephanie Fischer, SVP & Chief Operating Officer.
Our organization will carry on Mr. Raymond’s vision and continue
to strive to conduct projects that will have, not only a positive impact
on the retail industry, but on society itself.
Our friend, you will surely be missed.
