Women in Animation exploratory meeting

That was a great meeting. The community in Portland is pretty small, so most people were connected to each other one way or another, and the sheer talent at the table blew me away.

The outcome seems to be that everyone wants to do it- to form a local chapter and become more involved with each other, to build community and support, to share and mentor, and, for me of course, to host some kick-ass events.

For those who don't know, yes, of course men are allowed and invited to participate, but we also want to acknowledge that women have a lot to share with each other, and need different kinds of support and mentorship.

I'm really excited for this opportunity, but equally excited that I don't have to spear-head it and push it forward. :-)
