Kevin Dwyer, President and CEO of ScreenScape, welcomed the growing roster of associations participating in the program. “Our community-based approach eliminates barriers to place-based media adoption,” Dwyer said. “This program empowers organizations to quickly distribute compelling visual content to their audiences, both within their own sites and through the broader ScreenScape Community.”
