Welcome

Updates From Nancy Inskeep, President, CPSA DC119

I am honored to be named the new president of CPSA DC119 following Andrea Roberts. Let me first thank Andrea for her service as President. I am happy that she will remain on the board working on Special Projects, including our Annual Colored Pencil Exhibition and Workshop.

At this time, the board is finalizing the schedule for this year’s events, focusing on the October meeting, the Workshop on November 2, 2024 and the end of year party. Some of the other activities that we are planning include holding the  relaunching the chapter newsletter, implementing a service project, and finalizing the October program.

I have found the chapter to be welcoming, imaginative, and quite frankly, somewhat fearless as members are not only willing, but also want, to try new techniques or products relating to colored pencils. We have a thriving membership with a strong volunteer spirit. I look forward to serving you as President.
