President's Letter
March Madness...
This phrase stirs up different connotations in different people. For college basketball buffs it's the big NCAA tournament. For others, it refers to the main breeding season of the European hare...bet you didn't see that one coming, did you? For our friends to the North, it is the end of the Canadian fiscal year. And others relate it to crazy weather fluctuations that occur this time of the year. For our ASID Arizona North Chapter, it's a month filled with amazing events and opportunities.
What do Walt Disney World and the CIA have in common? Dave Mitchell...if you haven't already done so, sign up to see his seminar -
The Power of Understanding People - at the Elements Trade Show on March 20th. I'm halfway through reading his book right now and I guarantee that you will find me up front soaking up his presentation like a sponge...I cannot wait to hear him speak! The Trade Show portion is free and the vendor tabletops are sold out. It is a fantastic opportunity to find out what's new, to make new contacts, and reconnect with some old ones. Also join us for an interactive luncheon, it's a great time to sit back for an hour and mingle with your peers.
If you haven't signed up yet for Design for Hire, please do so...we're getting calls for Designers every day. This is a major fundraising event for our Chapter that pairs the public with our Designers, with monies going to fund scholarships and educational programs. It's a great opportunity for Designers and the public alike.
So enjoy your own personal March Madness and we hope you'll spend some of it with us.
Best regards,
Gretchen Palmer, Allied ASID
President, Arizona North Chapter
