Heitz, who currently serves on the AZIMA board as Treasurer, and is a past president and the first recipient of the Matthew O’Brien Community Builder of the Year award, established in memory of the late founding member of the AZIMA board, author, and founder of MINT Social after his death early last year.

“I'm humbled to receive the Matthew O'Brien Community Builder of the Year award,” Heitz noted in a LinkedIn post. “Matt inspires me; he was such a great community builder, and I know I'm not even in his league. Thank you, Matt, for never giving up on our community and helping build this ecosystem. We miss you so much.”

Heitz joined LAVIDGE in 2006 as managing director, Interactive.
