They Said Keep Going, MOM. We Never Stopped.
In 1995, Alyse, our founder, started Interlace Communications. ICI began and still is an Association Management company for the Mid-Atlantic Community Papers Association.
In 2008, the recession happened and so did the internet. That's when the road got very uncertain for the advertising network for MACPA which was and still is the life blood of MACPA. It was then when Alyse had to make a decision...pull back and move forward with a new focus on helping local businesses focus on their marketing. It was her family who said, "Keep going, Mom." She did.
Thirty-one years later that decision lives in every corner of ICI. Vicki now runs operations keeping everything moving behind the scenes. Kasey brings brands to life through graphic design, blogs and website optimization. And Braden, the next generation, creates videos and keeps the websites of our clients sharp and strong with the direction of Annie Crider.
They do not just work here. They continue to build this with her.
To the woman they all call Mom...and the founder her clients call a trusted partner for 31 years...this one is for you. And to every family business out there holding each other up through the uncertain moments, keep going. It is worth it.
Happy Mother's Day Eve from our family here at ICI to you.
