New Event!

Hello everyone! There are so many great things to tell you, I hardly know where to start! First of all we want to welcome Stacie Brower to the board as VP communications. Stacie will be taking over this blog and we are confident she will do a fantastic job.

Also we are planning an educational day for this fall! During our chapter meeting this month, we talked about hosting an educational event which would include presenters from our chapter and also a professional from a related field. We want to invite any of you to participate in this event as a presenter. We are looking for 2 chapter members to present. We haven't determined the theme for the day, but perhaps you could let us know what aspect of our field you would like to learn more about. This will be a great opportunity for all of us to get together and enjoy the benefits of hearing from other image professionals.

We also thought it would be great to have an educational day twice a year, once in the Salt Lake area and once in the Denver area! How does that sound Colorado members? :) We want to give opportunities for all our members to enjoy these kind of occasions and what a great excuse for us Utah members to go on a road trip!

Another idea presented at our chapter meeting was to hold 2 telemeetings a year. This way, we can all participate in the chapter meetings no matter where we are. We could perhaps even hold a few webinars. With technology the way it is today, there are lots of ways we can conduct the meetings to include everyone. If there are any of you who have experience in these types of media, we would love to hear from you!

We will keep you posted on the details of all these great ideas, but be sure to reserve a weekend in the fall to travel to Salt Lake for the AICI SLC Chapter Education Day! Again, we invite any of you to present and would love to hear your ideas for themes. You can email us at aicislcchapter@gmail.com. Thank you and have a great day!


Sincerely,
AICI SLC Chapter Board
