AMWA SW Networking Zoom Event

Hi, AMWA Southwest Chapter Members,

It’s Dean Colston. I wanted to personally thank you for making our virtual networking event for our out-of-area members a success. It was terrific to see all of you and to talk about the medical communications profession. I found this event to be not only an excellent learning opportunity, but fun.

As you can see, we captured a lively photo of our accomplished attendees on Feb. 4, 2021.

A special thanks goes to Kimberly Mankiewicz, PhD, ELS and J. Kelly Byram, MS, MBA, ELS for hosting this event with me.

I’m looking forward to the next out-of-area members event. So we’ll see you soon. amwasw.org

Note: I added my voice to this video thanking members for attending this event.

Join us in celebrating the golden anniversary of the Arizona Council of the Blind (AzCB) on Zoom!

When: Friday, April 16 and Saturday, April 17

Registration cost: $10.00

This event will feature keynote speaker Joel Snyder, Director of the Audio Description Project at the American Council of the Blind (ACB). In addition, we will have several other presentations, as well as entertainment, games, and drawings for gift cards.

AzCB started in 1971, spearheaded by John Vanlandingham, an attorney who was blind. We are an affiliate of the ACB, a national nonprofit organization which advocates for the interests, needs, and capabilities of those who are blind or visually impaired.

More details to come—so stay tuned.
