Once again, I want to acknowledge and congratulate Theresa McKee, our Digs Editor and Designer.  Some how, some way, she always manages to pull off a great looking product for our membership.  I don’t know what the Region would do without her.  Publishing a quarterly newsletter is no easy task.  Once the information is pried out of our dedicated but often extremely busy volunteers, she takes the material and does her magic.  The entire process can sometimes feel like a full time job!  Without a doubt, Theresa has been the single most important force in earning the Chesapeake Region this national recognition in the area of communications.  This is a tremendous achievement considering the stiff competition from around the country.  Again, a heartfelt thanks and congratulations.  The Board and Staff truly appreciate your hard work.

     The Communications staff is dedicated to providing you the membership the most informative and attractive product it can.  Let me know if there is a topic of interest we have missed.  We would be happy to include it in a future edition.  Any suggestions or comments, please let me know!  I can be reached at diane.abood@chrva.org.  Just a quick word of caution…most of our writers are volunteers who already have full-time jobs and other responsibilities, so please bear with us as we strive to meet your needs!
