John was our friend, and his contribution to our team and his place in our staff cannot be measured in accomplishments, as he was the heart and soul of our voice to this community.
John Indence was responsible for all marketing, communications, public relations and branding strategies for the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF). Prior to joining NHF in 2006, John was Vice President, Marketing at Lighthouse International in New York City. There he oversaw the strategic development, budgeting, coordination and implementation of national and international communications and marketing initiatives. In his previous capacity there as Vice President, Products Division, he was solely responsible for organizational restructuring and management of the low-vision professional products and retailing divisions.
Previously, John held a number of positions at Garvan Communications in Hicksville, NY, moving up the corporate ladder from Account Executive to Senior Vice President. John received a B.A. in political science from SUNY Albany.
Most importantly, John was a valued member of our team and the creator and architect of our communication suite. Beyond the many awards and recognitions for HemAware, NHF's award-winning quarterly magazine, John broadened our communication abilities to include HemAware online and extended our reach both nationally and internationally. His contribution to the agency and the community has changed the face of the National Hemophilia Foundation and brought us to a new and more inclusive image, representing everyone living with a bleeding disorder and their families. He will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with John's family and friends.
There will be a memorial to celebrate John’s life on Friday, June 10th at 5pm at:
The Princeton Club
15 West 43rd Street
New York, NY 10036
We hope you will join family and friends as we gather to honor our friend and colleague. There will be a reception immediately afterwards.
The family has requested in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the National Hemophilia Foundation.
