Let me introduce myself. I am the state representative for Michigan for the APLD. I will be bringing educational events to the area. I welcome any comments or questions regarding this.

As APLD International’s Chapter Chair, I have questions for all APLD members (or potential members): What do you enjoy about being a member of a regional or state APLD chapter? What could be improved on? If you are not a chapter member, what would you want from a chapter membership?

At your request Jonathon I am going to attach one of my recent plan view renderings for your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses….I would like comments from whomever has some input….good or bad…..It will be in the above discussions…

Lets get this party started! Show us some examples….
