Dana and Kathy Rickard, CompuMail
Like most humanitarians, getting Dana and Kathy Rickard to talk about their personal achievements is no easy task. But they will open up about CompuMail, their highly successful business. Could it be they don't see how CompuMail is a reflection of the two of them?
Kathy and Dana founded CompuMail in 1990, starting as a direct mail company and evolving into a full service marketing company. The company outgrew its original home and moved to their current Southington location in 1998. The Rickards are quick to point out that there are two main factors that have driven their company's success. Having great employees is one of those factors. CompuMail's employees have been hard working, motivated and dependable. Secondly Dana and Kathy are proud of the quality work done at CompuMail. Customers return to CompuMail because they know the company stands behind its quality work.
Many of those customers include non-profit organizations like the Boys & Girls Club. CompuMail has a reputation For helping non-profits the best they can. It is this giving spirit that has resulted in the company receiving many significant awards. Members of Print Industries of New England, the company has won multiple People's Choice Awards as well as several Awards of Merit, Recognition and Pinnacle Awards. In 1997 the company was given a Special Service Award by the MS Society in recognition of their dedication to that non-profit organization. But the biggest feather in CompuMail's cap is the Benny Award they earned in 2011. The Benny is considered to be the gold standard in the printing industry as it is awarded only to those who have achieved the highest level of excellence.
Dana has been involved in many organizations and served on numerous boards throughout his career. He is currently the chairman of the board of the Hartford Rescue Mission and is on the board of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce. He has served on several golf tournament committees, has been a volunteer coach and has given his time as a volunteer at Mount Southington. In 2007 Dana was the Southington Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year.
Kathy served as a volunteer in all of the activities in which the Rickard children were involved. That was no easy task as the Rickards were blessed with four wonderful children. She spent 10 years as a member of the Southington Board of Education, and followed that up with 6 years of service on the board of directors of the Southington Community YMCA. And in 2014 Kathy was recognized by the Southington Chamber of Commerce with the Community Spirit Award.
