My name is David Adler, I was the co-founder of Washington Dossier, the society magazine for the nation’s capital from 1975-1991. I am currently the CEO and founder of BizBash Media www.bizbash.com, the magazine, web site and trade shows for the Event Planning Industry.

The magazine grew to over 250 pages during its height and lasted until 1991. Our family sold the company in 1987 after 12 years.

In 1975, just a month out of college at 21, I worked with my mother, Sonia Adler to launch the magazine. My dad, Warren Adler, the novelist who wrote the “War of the Roses” and 40 other novels owned an advertising agency at the time. He along with his staff, helped us launch a 16 page newsletter style magazine to cover the Washington D.C. social scene. Brother Jonathan Adler who was a college student at the time, joined the company a year later.
