Our Values

Since November 1960, The Dean Martin Association has been and continues to be the fully-authorized flagship ambassador to Dean Martin’s life, career and legacy. We are totally committed to representing that legacy with the utmost esteem and professionalism, offering a respectful and genuinely sincere appreciation of this great entertainer. We are non-profit: we receive no funding, no financial or material incentives or financial or material donations for any of the work we do.

The Dean Martin Association continuously strives to humbly respect, promote and support the legacy of Dean Martin at all times with the backing of members of his family, professional bodies, his admirers, and fans and DMA members all around the world. We recognize and do not take for granted our extremely privileged position.

Wherever you live, whoever you are, we dedicate your Association to Dean Martin and to you – as you support us by being a valued member. Everyone is welcome to become a member of the DMA and we ask that all members treat each other with respect and kindness. The DMA literally is an association, bringing fans and admirers of Dean Martin together to respect, celebrate and honor him. Bullying of any kind is not allowed, and degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity et cetera will not be tolerated: anyone found bullying, degrading, belittling or patronising other members, Dean’s family, estate or DMA staff, their families or anyone connected and affiliated with us will have their membership cancelled and potentially reported to the relevant authorities.

We will refuse any contribution or submission to the DMA for inclusion in Just Dino or any other DMA publication, or on our website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube sites that will in any way offend or cause upset and embarrassment to any member of Dean’s estate, family or DMA staff, their families or anyone connected and affiliated with us. See our Submissions Guide.

Please buy genuine Dean Martin music, films and TV shows wherever they are sold.
