Team Member Tuesday with Diane Duncan!

Today we are celebrating our Regional Manager, Diane Duncan. Thank you for the important work you are doing to save children from accidental poisoning...you are making a difference. 

How long have you worked for BDMG?

I've been with Bird Dog Marketing Group for four years.


Tell us a little bit about your family. 

I have been married to my husband, Eric, for 35 years. We recently built a new house and moved to Tennessee. We have two amazing sons. Zach (32) is an engineer for Entergy, married to Catherine, and they have a beautiful baby girl named Genevieve, who was born in June, and they live in Mississippi. Sam (30) is an engineer for Bridgestone, married to Tori, and they have a handsome boy named Theo, who was born in August, and they live in Tennessee. I'm blessed to become a grandma twice this year! 


What are your favorite hobbies?

I like to keep busy doing a variety of things. I craft, a little sewing, and I recently started hiking.


What is your favorite quote?  

"Carpe Diem" - Seize the Day


If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

The Galapagos Islands. When we were first married, my husband once said he would like to travel there. 


If you were to retire and work at Disney World, what would be your dream job?

I would choose to work at one of the 11 countries in Epcot Center's World Showcase.  


Do you have a favorite non-profit or organization that you like to volunteer for or support?

We support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My father-in-law passed away from blood cancer, and Tori, our daughter-in-law, is a Campaign Development Manager for the Nashville Chapter.


What is the funniest situation you have run into while doing child-resistant adult package testing?

The people who walk by and turn down testing and then they see other people doing it and come back to test and say, "Wow, that was it? That was easy."


Diane, thank you for sharing your story - enjoy your new home and being a grandma! We appreciate your giving us a peek into your life and why you are such a special member of our team!

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited? As the world leader in child-resistant and senior-friendly package testing, Bird Dog Marketing Group considers ISO 17025 accreditation an essential requirement for all testing laboratories, and this is why we choose to be audited for accreditation annually. Our global customers have the assurance that they can trust the results we provide to them on every test. What is ISO 17025 Accreditation? ISO 17025 accreditation, the international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization, is pivotal for testing laboratories, ensuring a globally recognized standard of quality and reliability in their management system and technical competence. It is comprised of various requirements and guidelines use by laboratory customers, regulation boards, accreditation authorities, and organizations to verify, recognize and ensure the competency impartially, and consistent operation of laboratories in their testing and calibration processes. It is particularly crucial for those offering Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ISO, and CSA child-resistant package testing services, as it validates the precision, accuracy, and consistency of our testing methods. Why ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters to Bird Dog Marketing Group? ISO 17025 accreditation not only bolsters confidence among our clients regarding the credibility of our test results, but it also aligns with testing procedures with international standards, facilitating the acceptance of test results across international borders and industries. This ensures the child-resistant package testing results BDMG completes for your company can be used for package distribution globally. Ultimately, we believe that for laboratories committed to excellence in CPSC, ISO, and CSA testing, ISO 17025 is not just a benchmark, but a necessity for ensuring quality, fostering trust, and expanding global reach. As a global leader in child-resistant package testing for over 55 years, Bird Dog Marketing Group is committed to your product’s excellence through the highest standards of testing protocols. I look forward to continuing the discussion and answering any questions you may have. ~ Mark Perkins, Co-CEO, Bird Dog Marketing Group
