Shelley Spencer, COO/President of Arista and Total Learning Concepts Is Named One of PharmaVOICE’s Most Influential People For 2007

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – September 10, 2007 – Shelley Spencer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Arista Marketing Associates and Total Learning Concepts, has been selected by PharmaVOICE as one of their Top 100 Most Influential People serving the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and other life sciences industries.

Arista Marketing Associates, the pharmaceutical industry’s premier provider of real-time remote prescriber dialogue, and Total Learning Concepts, a leading provider of pharmaceutical and biotech sales training, are Publicis Healthcare Communications Group companies.

Spencer was selected by a panel of PharmaVOICE editors as one of 23 top “commanders & chiefs” for demonstrating “their commitment to their employees, their companies, and their communities by setting high personal and corporate standards.” Nominees were submitted by the magazine’s readers, and the list was published in its July/August issue.

Before heading Total Learning Concepts and Arista, Spencer compiled extensive experience in the biopharmaceutical industry in domestic and international senior-level executive positions with Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

In addition, Spencer co-founded a summer arts program, Arts in Action for underprivileged youth in Boston during 2005. The program, which continues today, helps these youth build self esteem and confidence by expressing themselves through the arts (eg, photography, painting, and mural art).

“The PharmaVOICE honor is a testament to Shelley as a leader,” said Rick Keefer, Chief Operating Officer of Publicis Selling Solutions Group. “Shelley’s commitment to her industry, clients, employees, and community is something we’ve known about for a long time. It’s great to see her honored by PHARMAVoice for her work.”
