idsanyc officers nominations

Dear New York Chapter Members,

It's election time for our chapter again, seems like just yesterday that Shunyi, Joy, Jeanine and I toasted as the new officers of the chapter at the holiday party at Felissimo. We've had a great time, still have a few more events up our sleeves before January.

I am writing to encourage you to consider becoming an officer of the chapter or nominating someone you know. We've had a wonderful two years of reaching out to the areas design scene and creating events and opportunities for our members. We've accomplished a lot because we have a great group of volunteers working alongside us to pull things together. As chapter chair I have had the pleasure of leading this wonderful team and highly recommend getting involved.

Please send nominations to [Shunyi]

Hope to see you at Stammtisch, the National conference in October, or at our career day workshop, ergonomics workshop, or lecture on contracts for designer and most of all at our end of the year celebration in December.

Best wishes,
Deb
