Catching up

Oh, so much has happened.

I'm now the president of Asifa Portland. I'm really excited about it. Mike did a great job of reviving the chapter and putting on some great events, and getting us in the habit of having events and planning ahead. Now I'd like to look a bit further out, and think about how we strengthen the whole community, and become a real resource for animation in Portland. I've recruited Rob Bekuhrs to be the vice president and hope that over time we can build a really strong board, with a lot of strategic partnerships in the industry and with other organizations. There are a lot of possibilities.

I'm also just starting to blog for Oregon Creative Industries, a consortium of creative companies in Oregon. I'll be profiling members of our amazing creative economy and hope to grow the blog to demonstrate the depth and breadth of the great work happening here. If you know anyone who would make a good interview subject, please let me know.

I think I also need to start another blog, specifically about being a producer. It will, I think, be good for me professionally and I hope to capture some of the insights I've been having lately as I talk with artists. Go me!
