der Vorganger is the official magazine of the Founders' Region Potomac, Porsche Club of America, Inc.
Around 2500 copies are mailed to our members each month, packed with news on the life of the club and announcements of upcoming events. This is made possible by two very committed groups of people, our der Vorganger team and our advertisers.
THE TEAM
Tony Kelly, Publisher

Tony was the driving force that made the new der Vorganger a reality. As president in 2008, he assembled a terrific team and inspired them to create what is now the club's strongest line of communication with our members. Despite having thought that his work was done when the magazine was launched, the club Executive asked Tony to return as publisher, with oversight across the editorial, advertising and financial aspects of the magazine.
Richard Curtis, Editor and Designer

Richard took on the challenge of reintroducing der Vorganger after a year in which the magazine had been dormant. He brings a wealth of expertise and experience in publishing from his career with USA Today, where he is Managing Editor. He has received numerous awards for publishing and design, but more importantly he has a true enthusiast's sense of the importance of the magazine to the life of the club. Richard's focus on first person journalism that brings out the stories of our members and their love of the club and their cars has made der Vorganger required reading for our members, and a great asset to the club community.
Margaret Kauffman, Membership CIO
Margaret does the hard work of producing a monthly membership mailing list and maintaining the list of advertisers, other bulk deliveries, and complementary mailings that we send to PCA National and Zone 2 Presidents. She also works closely with our printer to ensure that all addresses are verified before the mailing goes out each month, and to research and correct bad mailing addresses.
In addition, Margaret also compiles the lists of membership anniversaries and new members that are published in each edition.
Michael Madrid, Photo Editor
Michael is a professional photographer with USA Today, and an avid Porsche fan. His pictures have appeared in der Vorganger for a number for years, and on several Porsche-related web sites. As our de facto staff photographer, Micheal is shooting striking images that capture the beauty and the character of the club and our members doing what they love most. Michael also applies his creative magic to producing the multimedia bonus packages that now accompany our cover stories. Michael refined this technique for covering the Olympics, and is using it to great advantage to show our cover story subjects to best advantage.

THE ADVERTISERS
