From Your President...
Serving the Southwest region of AIFD as a board member since 2007 has been a pleasure and I am honored to be your 2011-2012 President. We have an amazing group of talented and dedicated members serving on our board and I am eagerly looking forward to working together during the upcoming year.
A huge "Thank You" goes out to Michael Quesada, AIFD for a job well done last year. Thank you for your guidance and strong leadership as our Region completes an outstanding year.
"Thank You" to all of the board members and committee members who selflessly and willingly gave their time, energy and creative abilities to ensure a successful year. Your hard work did not go unnoticed and a repeat performance is anticipated this year!
We have an exciting year planned for SWAIFD including educational programs for experienced and beginning designers, an amazing display at the Los Angeles County Fair and Arts and Flowers at the National Orange Show. Mark your calendars and save the date for our annual Wedding Extravaganza on March 11, 2012 in San Bernardino, CA. Once again, SWAIFD will be at the forefront of our industry with a day of fun-filled programs and entertainment that cannot be missed!
We have a dedicated group of SWAIFD members leading our region, but we cannot complete the upcoming year without the support and participation of the rest of our regional members. I strongly encourage all of us to find a way that we can volunteer our time and talents for our region. I urge you to participate in or attend a SWAIFD design program, spread the word about the great things our region is doing or submit your photos and information for our wildly popular Design-In-Line e-zine. Don't forget to check out our region's Facebook page or the cool blog at designinlinemagazine.blogspot.com.
We have big shoes to fill this upcoming year – we are very fortunate to follow the footsteps of wonderful Past Presidents. This Board will work diligently to continue the momentum created by our predecessors. We will work hard to communicate to the public about who we are as a group, provide educational opportunities for our members and students and have an amazing experience with a million laughs at the same time.
Come along for the ride and get on board this journey – it will be an exciting and fun-filled adventure!
Sincerely,
Alex Jackson, AIFD, PFCI
