Dear Creative Community,

As we begin a New Year, I want to wish you a great 2013 and invite you to participate in the many exciting activities and initiatives we have planned.

We are pleased for a second year in a row to have a successful SPARK registration. We have closed with 27 match-ups! We hope you take advantage of next week’s CMYK and make the initial meet. A huge thank you to those that made it happen and volunteering.

Creating value for our members continues to guide the development of the many educational and event programs we continue to plan. While we have exciting events planned for 2013, there is always room for more. If you have an event idea or willing to volunteer in making these events happen… let us know! Our growing AIGA community strives to continue engaging designers in all practices and career levels with events that provide networking opportunities, inspiring exhibitions and intelligent lectures.

We look forward to seeing you often in the upcoming year. Feel free to drop me an email with ideas and suggestions on how to make our chapter even more valuable and relevant to you. Thanks again for your support and involvement.

Yours,
Sarah Burns
