Diane Fischer: Diane Fischer is founder and President of L & D Mail Masters, Inc. located in New Albany, Indiana.  After spending 9 ½ years as a Customer Service Manager at a local company, Diane saw a significant need for a direct marketing company that was willing to help small and large clients alike.  In 1986, Fischer and her partner set out to change the local Direct Mail vendor scene by starting L & D Mail Masters, Inc.  The beginning was modest.  A spare bedroom in Diane’s home, the family minivan, folding machine, computer, postage meter and entrepreneurial spirits fueled L & D’s growth the first few months.  After mornings filled with sales pitches in business suits and high heels, the women traded the heels for sneakers to complete the jobs and unload at the post office dock in the afternoon.  In 1990, Fischer acquired her partner’s share of L & D Mail Masters.  The present day company is a thriving 180,000 square foot campus with 150 employees.

Diane has also always seen a need for involvement in community success as well as professional success.  She has served on many non-profit boards including One Southern Indiana and New Albany-Floyd County School Foundation, as well as, serving on numerous committees for other organizations.  Her philosophy of assisting others to ensure growth and success has served her well personally and professionally throughout her years as a business leader in the community.

Residing in Greenville, Indiana with her husband, Steven, Diane enjoys spending time with her family, lounging by her pool and looking forward to many good things yet to come. Back to Top

Andy Renner: My name is Andy Renner and I am the Sales Director at L & D Mail Masters. My experience with two large consumer packaged goods companies helped develop my selling and sales management skills. While working in the CPG industry, my areas of focus included managing national accounts and leading sales training. I have managed sales teams and enjoy watching the development of team members.

I am results oriented and welcome new challenges. I am excited to be a part of the L & D team and look forward to leading the sales team to new heights.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Management from Indiana Wesleyan University and am very involved in our Community. I serve on the Board of Directors of youth sports organizations and enjoy coaching youth sports. Back to Top

Kim Schmidt: I attended Indiana University Southeast, studying in the Business Administration/Management program. I have worked as a Customer Service Representative for over 16 years with half of that time being dedicated to L & D Mail Masters.

My job is very rewarding. I really enjoy working directly with my clients to make sure they get the utmost attention and need out of their direct mail project. Each one of my customers is treated with the respect and individuality that they deserve. I make sure they get the most bang for their buck. Back to Top

Jolanda Worrall: I have worked in the mailing industry for 33 years. My first 23 years were spent at Norton Healthcare in Louisville KY working with the direct mail fundraising program for Kosair Children’s Hospital. I began my mail career processing the mail and then became the manager of The Foundation Office during the last five years of my tenure there. 

My years with Norton Healthcare gave me an extensive background in nonprofit direct mail fundraising and prepared me for my next career move. After leaving Norton Healthcare I had the opportunity to join L & D Mail Masters as an Account Executive.

My time here has taught me even more about the direct mail industry as well as printing and graphic design. The most enjoyable part of my job at L & D Mail Masters is working with the customers. They always ask for something exciting and different each day which makes my job challenging. Often I can show a customer how they can save enough money on postage which can offset or even pay for the mail processing cost. Back to Top  

Barbara Fischer: I graduated from Floyd Central High School in Floyds Knobs, IN.  Realizing that I was not ready to attend college I joined the work force by working in a supermarket in Galena IN.  I worked at this job for 7 years before I realized in order to gain a better living I had to go to college.  I attended Sullivan Business College in Louisville, KY studying for a data processing degree. 

After attending college, I went to work for The Louisville Bar Association as secretary for the Foundation for three years.  I then worked for the Galt House Hotels as a catering secretary for 4 ½ years.
In August 1993, I came to work for L&D Mail Masters, Inc. working in both the data processing office and as a receptionist.  After about 9 months a position as an account executive became available and this continues to be my position today.

What I like about working in a sales position is that every customer’s needs are different. What will work for one customer is not going to be the same for the next customer.  In the 15 years I have been at L&D Mail Masters, the growth and the changes have been enormous.  With the technology changing the way we work with our customers in fulfilling their needs is one of the better aspects of my day.  I continue to learn about technology, mailing processes and postal requirements in order to better serve our customers needs.

Elizabeth Hahn: In 2002, I graduated from Indiana University Southeast with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. Prior to my career at L & D Mail Masters, I worked my way through college at a local label printing company and moved up within the company.   Upon graduation, I was promoted to a sales and marketing position as a National Account Executive and then as an Ecommerce Production Coordinator. 

I have been an Account Executive with L & D Mail Masters for almost three years.  What I love about my job is the interaction that I have with customers.  Every customer is different and every marketing project is different.  It is fun and exciting to be able to help a client with the direct mail project from start to finish.

After Purdue, I went to work in sales and customer service for LA Weight Loss. In May of 2004, with valuable work experience gained I found the open sales position with L&D Mail Masters. My position at L&D Mail Masters has evolved and challenged me to grow in sales and marketing. I enjoy helping customers develop and implement their direct mail campaign and projects. Back to Top

Marilyn Nash: I am a native of New Albany, IN and a graduate of New Albany High School. Going back as far as my early teens, I worked in the service industry which gave me a broad and constant exposure to people. Before I came to L&D Mail Masters, I worked for the New Albany Floyd County School System for 8 years helping disadvantaged youth overcome employment and academic issues.  From this experience I honed my communication and networking skills.

In 2004 I earned a Real Estate Sales License, which I continue to hold. As I look back on my past experiences, I see a natural progression towards a career in sales. Being on the sales team at L&D allows me to channel my past experiences into building new relationships, now and in the future. Back to Top

Abigail Sullivan: I have lived in New Albany my whole life. I attended New Albany High School where I graduated with honors. I went on to attend Indiana University Southeast and graduated from their business school with a Bachelor’s in Marketing and Management. While attending school I worked assistant management positions at numerous retail companies.

Shortly after graduation I heard about the sales position here at L&D and jumped right on it. Working in sales has allowed me to use my people skills and my creative mind. I love working at L&D Mail Masters; it is such a creative company and that gives me the opportunity to expand and develop my marketing abilities. Back to Top
