IN THE NEWS

Jeanett Cassano and Clients Shift to Belardi/Ostroy
Jeanett Cassano has been appointed senior vice president of the list brokerage division at Belardi/Ostroy ALC. Cheryl Piry has been named senior account executive and Michael Adkins has joined the firm as an account manager. Each previously worked for American List Counsel Inc.

The changeover provides Belardi/Ostroy a San Francisco Bay area office in Corte Madera, CA. The office space will be shared with ALC, which partially owns Belardi/Ostroy. “I still have the same desk,” Cassano said.

The reorganization increases Belardi/Ostroy’s presence in the nonprofit fundraising sector, an area where Belardi/Ostroy has been expanding. Cassano brings with her more than 50 client relationships. It will not have a noticeable impact on clients, she added.

Brokerage clients transferred to Belardi/Ostroy include the Special Olympics, Human Rights Campaign, Oxfam America, Physicians for Social Responsibility, People for the American Way, NARAL Pro Choice America, Appalachian Mountain Club and the National Organization for Women, among others.
ALC continues to maintain a substantial number of brokerage relationships with other clients and it still has brokers working from the same location.
