Seminar 2012 News

Santa Fe Enchantment

 

Our first Seminar 2012 committee meeting was held in conjunction with the Region Meeting on February 20 (in spite of the snowy weekend!). It may have been freezing outside, but inside was warm with ideas, suggestions, and cooperative effort. Although this meeting was really our "maiden voyage", we accomplished so much in that we established a focus for the seminar. Everyone who attended viewed our afternoon together in a very positive way.

I'm sure that you've heard the saying, "No rest for the weary." That was certainly true for the Seminar 2012 Executive Committee! We continued our business all day Sunday making decisions regarding faculty selection and registration and, most important, developing the first draft of our seminar budget.

Our next committee meeting will be held at RMR Seminar 2010 in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, we continue to have one vacancy on our committee - Volunteers/Hospitality Chair. This is such an important position and it is critical to the success of our seminar. Please contact me if you are willing to serve in this position OR if you can suggest someone.

Finally, creative ideas are not limited to the seminar committee. If you have a suggestion or idea, please contact me. We welcome all inspirations that will contribute to the success of Seminar 2012.

The colors of the logo are exact matches to the colors of Pojoaque pottery (the seminar hotel is on Pojoaque Pueblo land). And, when Karen Race and I visited the hotel in November, we saw that large pots are perched along the roofline of the hotel - suiting our logo to a tee!

In addition to our logo success, we received several chairman interest forms. Thank you so much!  Our committee chairmen are listed below. You'll see that we do have a vacant position. We urge you to consider volunteering to fill this since it is such a critical position

Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. We appreciate it!

Caela Tyler, Seminar 2012 Chair

Our seminar logo has been approved! We did not have the time to canvas our entire region for logo designs; in fact we had only a six week time window to put out a "call for logo designs", receive the submissions, select a logo, make it "camera ready", and obtain approval from the EGA Product Design and Sales Committee in time for the Needle Arts copy deadline regarding our first seminar ad in the March 2010 Seminar Brochure. And thanks to fabulous cooperation, we made it!

We asked several designers in the region to submit ideas. We then compiled the terrific submissions and called for consensus by the Seminar 2012 Executive Committee and by the RMR Executive Board. Everyone responded within 24 hours! The selected logo was then "cleaned up" for publication and submitted to the Product Design and Sales Committee. Again, we were amazed; we were notified of the committee's approval in 36 hours!
