Nasstoys' Kathryn Hartman Nominated for XBIZ Exec Award

NEW YORK — Nasstoys has announced that sales and marketing director Kathryn Hartman is nominated for Brand Ambassador of the Year by the 2016 XBIZ Exec Awards.

“The secret to success is surrounding yourself with creative, disciplined and open-minded people with whom you share mutual respect and who believe that the most fortunate of us make our livelihood through an industry seen as a chosen lifestyle and extended community, not a mere 'job,'" Hartman said.

"Enthusiasm and dedication cannot be faked for decades," she added. "Fortunate are those who have an imaginative mind and are able to use it. Success is being the grateful person who reaps the rewards of the seeds they have sown on every level."

"Kathryn has been an important part of Nasstoys' success for 26 years as our top salesperson and our #1 show representative," Nasstoys CEO Ted Rothstein said.
