Welcome to the New WIF Seattle

Happy 2011!  We hope you've had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to what the New Year brings. The WIF Seattle board is thrilled with what our organization has achieved in its 20-year history and where it's going. As the old commercial says: "We've come a long way, baby."

 

So to celebrate and kick off 2011 in style, we're launching a brand new logo and an all-new look for WIF Seattle. Beginning today, we'll be sending you this newsletter every month to keep you up to date on our local community of women in film. In between newsletters, WIF members will also receive members-only News Flashes with breaking news on events, job opportunities and more.
