The DBP Program Administrator's
Perspective:
Raenell Dorn
Vice President, HR/Diversity
Minnesota Twins
"On
Thursday, April 15th
the Twins honored Jon Otto
and Visions, Inc. as our
MVDBP award winner. Visions,
Inc. has over 25 years of
experience as a provider of
successful marketing
solutions. Otto began his
career in 1980 as Production
Artist where he developed
his creative approach to
marketing communications.
In 1985, Otto launched
Visions Design Studios
specializing in design and
animation services. In 2005
he enhanced his organization
with the purchase of Creek
Litho, offering full-service
printing. Most recently in
May 2009, Otto completed the
merger/acquisition of
Printing Arts, Inc. to
become Visions, Inc – one of
the largest Native
American-owned companies in
the nation that provides
marketing and full service
printing solutions.
As a Native American from the White
Earth reservation in northeastern
Minnesota, the road to personal
success was not easy. Through
perseverance and a strong family
structure, Otto was able to graduate
from college, develop his
entrepreneurial skills and pave the
way to success; not only as business
owner but as a strong advocate and
mentor to those beginning their own
personal journey.
Jon Otto and Visions, Inc. has been
an integral part of the Twins
collateral going into our new home
at Target Field. One of the most
interesting was our 2009/2010 Team
calendar which depicted the various
stages of construction of our new
ball park, Target Field.
The Twins are very excited to
present the 2010 MVDBP Award to Jon
Otto and Visions, Inc. and to
recognize Visions, Inc. as one of America's Best Diverse Suppliers."
