One of the most rewarding things a designer can experience is to see his or her work displayed in print in an area publication. "How to become published" was one of the topics discussed in this year's meeting schedule. If you have been featured in the press because of your accomplishment and expertise, please let us know so that we can share your achievement with the rest of our local membership. Your fellow members would love to hear about it and be able to congratulate you. Also, if you have the opportunity to be featured in a publication, remember to include your IDS Wine Country affilation. This will benefit both you and your Chapter. |
