June 25, 2014 - It is with great honor, each
year, Golden Key, Kaplan University Chapter inducts into the society a number of distinguished figures from
the community, industry or academia. These individuals epitomize the Golden Key pillars of Academics, Leadership
and Service. The induction of Honorary Members represents Golden Key's appreciation and recognition of their
positive contribution to society, but also allows them to serve as inspirational role models for their members.
This year's selection is Dr. Martin J. McDermott. Marty McDermott is the President and founder
of Franchise Interviews, LLC. Franchise Interviews gives an up close and behind the scenes look at franchising through their
weekly radio show which can be heard on stations like BlogTalkRadio.com and Live365.com. Marty is also one of the founders
of KaplanRadio. Kaplan Radio hit the number one position last year in the Business/Education genre on Live365.com. The
show is now run by interns at Kaplan University and can be heard on Radio.co.
At Golden Key, they are more than good students; they are scholars. They believe in the power
of knowledge to transform lives and change situations for the better. They enjoy academic challenges and strive for excellence
in their fields. They are not bookish; they are learned.
