The annual WIA meeting will be on April 19th in CA.

WIA is thinking of using http://animationblogspot.com/ to set up their site. It is another blogspot where animators can set up their own blogs. It looks like a really good site with lots of great animation blogs. Check it out. There’s some great information!

The Women in Animation Symposium will be held at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio on April 13-16. It looks like they have a good line up of great speakers, portfolio reviews, and they are still looking for short films to be submitted. For more information check their blogspot- http://women-in-animation-symposium.blogspot.com/ If anyone is interested in going to represent the WIA Chicago chapter, please contact Katy- chicagowia@yahoo.com

The next meeting will be on Wed, April 4th at 6pm. We’re going to try to change the location to the library, otherwise it will be held at Chicago Place in the food court.
