Stationery Trends Winter 2009 …..... Introducing…The Editorial Advisory Board

Six who toil in the paper trenches to advise and offer insights

Like many of the publications in the Great American Publishing family,
Stationery Trends has opted to institute an Editorial Advisory Board – six
wise and charitable souls who will allow this editor to pick their brains from
time to time. Additionally, they will keep our staff clued in to shifts and
changing attitudes in this ever-evolving and increasingly tricky marketplace.

Five are retailers and one, the proprietor of what many consider the Atlanta
stationery showroom. You can be sure that all, however, have great insights to
share, as evidenced by their diverse bios:

Chandra Greer graduated from high school a National Merit Scholar finalist,
going on to earn a business degree at The University of Illinois. After a
three-year stint with a major oil corporation, she earned an M.B.A. at The
University of Chicago, then spent seven years at Leo Burnett Advertising until
ultimately, her inner voice told her to shuck it all in order to create a world
celebrating beauty, wit, civility

Chandra’s stationery company, GREER, with bricks and mortar, e-commerce and
wholesale divisions, has been featured in several major publications and her
transition from ad executive to stationery store owner was profiled in O
Magazine. She lives in Chicago with her husband, Dr. Steven Moravec, and
daughters Maya and Eva.

Special interests: “I’m interested in the societal impact of stationery.
How it reflects civility, good manners, thoughtfulness, appreciation, how it
serves as a permanent record of personal interaction, something not as likely
with digital communication, and the positive impact it generally has on
society.”
