Annual Meeting & Member Recognition
Fred Bucher: On Taking Chances
What does a peripatetic SVP of Marketing for the Weather Group do when COVID locked everyone down in 2020? Fred Bucher turned his passion for reading mystery novels and political thriller books and took a chance to write his book. Bucher uses his creativity and years of experience in senior media leadership to create a genuine voice and to bring to life his first highly-reviewed thriller, All The Lies We Believe. This book is a fast-paced thriller with contemporary themes. The story follows the protagonist, Will, who is forced to confront dangerous enemies when a stolen laptop exposes a murderous conspiracy.
Join us at the AFP Annual meeting and hear Fairfield’s Fred Bucher share how he found time to open a new creative chapter in his life while still working in the eye of the storm guiding Marketing for the Weather Group’s four brand properties. You may come away ready to take a chance.
