Great Networking Opportunity...Volunteer!

Plans for the 4th Annual IIDA NPC Golf Classic are underway. You can get involved by attending the first committee meeting on Thursday, January 8, at 4:30 p.m. at Espresso Vivace, 227 Yale Avenue North, Seattle. Please contact Dawn Polak, Golf Tournament Co-Chair, at dpolak (at) lmnarchitects (dot) com with inquiries.

The annual golf tournament is just one of the events the Northern Pacific Chapter is excited to bring you in 2009. From forums and CEUs to their key Chapter events--GreenWorld/ReGeneration, Toast! and the re-imagined Design Awards--all require the creativity and dedication of volunteers. Committee roles include coordinators of sponsorship, graphics, venue/catering, decorating, photography, public relations, and more.

Please support your industry organization and get involved with one of these inspiring events. Contact Melissa Svenson, NPC Director of Events, at svensonm (at) allsteeloffice (dot) com to join a committee.
