New President's Message

Greetings to all chapter members past and present, friends and visitors!

I became the CPSA DC210 chapter president as of november 1, 2011, taking over the reins from Linda Loder after her nine hard-working years at the job. Thank you to all for your vote of confidence in me!

I am excited about the opportunities ahead to grow our membership, organize fun and interesting programs, foster camaraderie, and expand awareness of colored pencil as an art medium in the San Francisco bay area and northern California. To that end, I welcome and encourage you—whether you are currently a member or drifted away years ago—to e-mail me with your ideas and suggestions on what YOU would like the chapter to be and do to keep you coming or bring you back. We are here to support and encourage everyone in the region who works with colored pencil! I may contact you directly to solicit your input, so don't be shy.

If you haven't renewed your membership for 2012 yet, please do! Your dues support the chapter so that we can bring in speakers and the like. Download our new chapter brochure from the Membership page to learn more.

Happy Drawing!

Denise Howard,
President CPSA DC210
