| President’s Message:
Spring 2004
Eric Sahlin, President
It’s year two for this board, and I’m
very pleased that everyone decided that their service to the chapter
was rewarding enough to put up with me for another year.
Many thanks
to them and to the chapter for their support. We will, however,
need to start looking for replacement board members at the end
of this year. Many of us feel that we won’t be able to commit
the time and energy necessary for another term. Rather than having
someone take over cold turkey and thrown into the frying pan (ok,
enough with the fowl) in January, we’d prefer a smoother
transition.
Therefore, we’d like to ask those interested
in board positions to consider a Board Position
at Large. This
means that you’d attend some board meetings, events, and
seminars; and help out where possible. For example, you might spend
some time helping a particular board member, giving them the opportunity
to show you how we operate the chapter. It’s not an official
position and has few benefits, but will merit a great deal of pull
from the board for upcoming 2005 elections. There are no firm commitments,
just a desire to serve the chapter and consider running for a position
on the 2005 board. If you’re interested, please email me:
president@asmpnorcal.org.
It’s the second quarter, and we have three
stellar events scheduled. Starting with Judy Herrmann and Michael
Starke at the ASMP National-sponsored It’s your Business/Working
Digitally. The seminar will concentrate on the nuts and bolts of
the digital workflow. The Portfolio Event in May will give you
that rare opportunity
to present
your work to professionals without your future on the
line. Finally, rounding out the quarter in June is Photoshop
for Photographers. Speaker Michael Descher of Adobe Systems will demonstrate
the little-known tips to improve your digital paintbox.
Hope to see you at all the events and as always, thanks for your
support.
Eric Sahlin
