"12. What do you say to the charges that you're just Helmy's puppet?"

Once again, this is just a misconception and industry gossip (can you believe that people in this industry gossip?!). Plus, try to say this to the people on the Advisory Council which includes some very competent people with strong personalities; Aly for one.

Alec Helmy did establish ASACP in 1996 and he personally funded it until 2002. At that point there was such an increase in cp reports that ASACP needed FT management. Because of my background (more on my qualifications later) and my desire to work for a cause-based organization, I was hired to take ASACP to the next level.

Since November 2002, the ASACP Advisory Council members contribute to and approve the ASACP goals and direction, just as with any other non-profit. Also, since that time, Sponsors have funded the organization. In 2005, ASACP officially became a non-profit; this was a long haul and you wouldn?t believe the amount of paperwork. I believe that part of the hassle was that companies in the adult entertainment industry fund ASACP.

Most small non-profits have a donated office at one of their sponsors. This is true for the FSC and Digital Coast Roundtable. Alec Helmy gave ASACP an office to use. It?s great because there's equipment, technical help, etc. that a non-profit could not otherwise afford. This has allowed me to focus on ASACP business, not DSL and copiers.. and so on.

Since Alec is in the same office and has been in the industry for over 10 years, I do ask his advice; I?d be crazy not to! But I also call and ICQ other Advisory Council members; and for major issues, I've also asked for feedback and advice from our sponsors. In fact, for the last two years I've held a Sponsor meeting during Internext-Hollywood where I present the prior year accomplishments and the goals for the next year. Weve changed goals based on their feedback

I could not do my job and ASACP would not have grown as it has without all this support - thank you to all!
