It's almost summer as I write this. I hope you and your family will find time to enjoy the warmth and sunshine of this short season.
As the PIC year draws to a close, I want to thank the people who've made our programming, communications, social media and membership services so successful:
Pat Davies: director of programming
Sharon Aschaiek: director of membership
Amy Sept: director of social media
Elizabeth Trew: director of communications
Thanks to their dedication, we were able to run programming with guest speakers as well as our popular networking exchanges. At the same time, we increased our visibility within IABC/Toronto, and laid the groundwork for some new initiatives next year.
At the helm of PIC next year will be Sharon Aschaiek as our new chair. I'm certain Sharon will do great things for PIC, with the help of the rest of the executive and the broader membership.
Amy Sept is staying on as director of social media, continuing to enhance our presence online with her tweets and other bons mots.
Elizabeth Trew is moving to the membership portfolio, ensuring that new members are warmly welcomed to PIC and included in our activities online and off.
I'm sorry to see Pat Davies leave the executive, but I know she will continue to come to our meetings and share her wisdom. She has been stellar as our programming director.
Last but not least, I want to welcome Sue Horner to the PIC executive as director of communications. She has written and edited several award-winning newsletters, and I'm sure she'll work hard to keep members up to date on PIC activities.
The position of programming director is still open. Please let me know if you're interested.
I would like to thank all the members who volunteered in various capacities over the year, by writing an article, proofreading the newsletter, or helping with meetings.
Thanks too, to our photographer, Alan McKenzie, who always makes us look good in pixels.
See you in September!
Donna Papacosta
PIC chair, soon to be past chair
