January has brought a plethora of new ideas to the Chesapeake Regional Section. Members held a teleconference on December 12 and discussed a multitude of topics to bring many of us new board members up to speed. It was decided at that time that the executive board gather at a retreat during the second or third weekend of January.

The current executive board members are: Chair Kacey Fisher, kacey@fishertheatrical.com; First Vice-Chair Liaisons Andrew D. Rich, rich@susqu.edu; Second Vice-Chair Programs Mark Wujcik, wujcik@cua.edu; Third Vice-Chair -Programs Stu McGee, smchapter5@netscape.net; Secretary Dan Niccum, daniel.niccum@stockton.edu; Treasurer Gregg Hillmar, gregg@hillmardesign.com; Member-at-Large Kim Haug, ebcbiz@aol.com; Member-at-Large Tom Kennedy, tbkennedy@akt3company.com; and Immediate Past Chair Bill Price, bprice@barbizon.com.

The Section is interested in any ideas for workshops, new products, or master classes of interest to members. Contact Mr. Niccum with any thoughts for the Section Conference on September 15.

The Ohio Valley Regional Section will sponsor a professional development workshop in VectorWorks 3-D on the campus of Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. On Saturday May 12, the day-long workshop will specialize in three dimensional solutions in VectorWorks 12.

The workshop will be conducted by a United Scenic Artist from the New York area who specializes in VectorWorks training for theatre designers. Workshop participants will be expected to have a fundamental knowledge of VectorWorks 2-D drafting. This is a new initiative by the Section's board to expand the scope of programming and professional development workshops to section members. Chuck Hatcher, Vice-Chair of Programs, and an educational representative from VectorWorks are putting the finishing touches on the day's programming and will post the registration forms and schedule on the Section's website. Both Mac and Windows users may attend the workshop. VectorWorks 12 will be loaded on the machines for the workshop. No copies will be sold at the workshop. Cost for the workshop will be under $300. There are only 15 seats available for the PDW, so seats will be held by advance payment only. PDW mailers will be available in February and at the National Conference. Watch their website for details.
