Letter from the Chair

By Howard Bell

It is my great pleasure to present the NARB Online Newsletter. We are producing this newsletter in an effort to keep our board and supporters better informed about the activities of the self-regulatory system. In the NARB Online Newsletter you will find the following sections:

News
This section we will give you the latest information about the National Advertising Review Board and the advertising self-regulatory system as a whole.

Panel Update
This section will cover the latest appeal requests and summarize recently published NARB Panels Reports and will list the NARB members who served as panelists.

NARB Member Corner
In this section you can expect to find information concerning NARB members. This is also where NARB members will have the opportunity to contribute to the Newsletter and speak to the rest of the board about issues regarding advertising self-regulation and the NARB.

NARB Board List
In this section we will publish the current board list of the NARB.

Event News
This section will cover upcoming events that would be of interest to those who have a stake in advertising self-regulation.

Voluntary industry compliance is a corner stone of successful self-regulation. The NARB represents the peer review part of this voluntary system and it is important that you are well informed and involved in the process. We trust that this publication will help to serve that purpose while at the same time enriching your experience as NARB board members. I would welcome your comments and suggestions that would help this publication be of maximum service.
