Kendall, I'm not sure why you suggested I contact Mark Lassoff. Is he starting a national organization for web designers?? Please enlighten me. Thank you. In my last industry, I was strongly involved in the international Society for Marine Mammal Science and it just feels kinda odd not to know where to go for a national/international community of web designers/developers. It makes sense I guess. Most fields just are not as conducive to the same kinds of peer communication as is required by scientists. Still, it seems like we web professionals could organize more generally as well as having our niche groups. Thanks again guys, Cheers, Holly Kendall Vincent wrote: Holy, I suggest contacting Mark Lasoff at NLI Media Group in Austin. http://www.linkedin.com/in/marklassoff Also stay in touch regarding your future endeavors.

The few organizations I've seen are too particular to one niche (like information architecture or graphic design) and being a generalist, I want to join something more comprehensive.
